Chelsea fans are convinced one player needs to leave following win over Fluminense in Club World Cup

Chelsea fans have reacted on social media after their win over Fluminense in the FIFA Club World Cup.

On Tuesday evening, Premier League giants Chelsea took on Brazilian Serie A side Fluminense at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, with a place in the final of the newly revamped Club World Cup at stake.

Chelsea new boy Joao Pedro stole the show as he scored two brilliant goals to seal a 2-0 win for Enzo Maresca's side.

As a result, the Blues will now take on either Real Madrid or Paris Saint Germain in Sunday's final.

Spanish La Liga giants Madrid and Champions League holders PSG will face off at the MetLife Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Despite the victory, Chelsea fans have urged the club to part ways with one player after a below-par performance.

The player in question is striker Nicolas Jackson, who was brought on to replace Pedro in the 60th minute.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: "Sell Jackson, absolute waste of space!"

Another tweeted: "After seeing that incredible performance from Jao Pedro last night, I want to plead with @ChelseaFC to allow Nikolas Jackson to leave the club asap."

A third fan added: "Sell Jackson and give me another striker, please."

Someone else wrote: "SELL JACKSON NOW."

A fifth commented: "Anyone saying we should keep Jackson doesn’t mean well for this football club."

Since the arrival of Liam Delap and Pedro, Jackson appears to have fallen down Maresca's pecking order.

During the 24/25 season, Jackson managed 13 goals and five assists in 34 matches across all competitions for Chelsea.

So far this summer, the 24-year-old has been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Juventus.

Speaking after the match against Fluminense, Pedro said: "I think it was a dream first start – I don’t think it could’ve been better. I’m very happy. I want to help the team. I knew I could score today, and that’s what I did. The team controlled the game today, did really well today and now we’re focused on the final.

"I think we have a great team, great players and it’s a pleasure to play with them. I think this season can be a great season for us."

He continued: "[With the first goal,] I saw the ball coming to me, and then I just tried to make the control quickly because then I knew their players could come at me fast, and I was happy to get my shot on target.

"For the second, Enzo found me, and I had more time to think about what I could do. I was happy to score."
