Nicolas Jackson was named in Chelsea’s starting line-up against West Ham on Saturday for what was his 50th appearance for the club.
After after less than four minutes, the Senegal striker opened the scoring at the London Stadium with his 20th goal for the Blues.
Jackson made the Hammers pay for some sleepy defending in the early kick-off, before slipping his finish superbly through the legs of goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
And the 23-year-old channelled the spirit of his namesake Michael, with his Thriller-esque goal celebration.
If that wasn’t good enough, he then added a second goal in the 18th minute with another very cool finish.
If Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, is Nicolas the King of London?
