Nicolas Jackson stuns fans with x-rated message to Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel after Wolves rout

Nicolas Jackson has stunned fans by sending an x-rated message to John Obi Mikel following Chelsea's rout of Wolves.

Chelsea earned their first Premier League win of the season with a 6-2 rout of Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

Enzo Maresca's side were disappointing in their 2-0 opening day defeat to Manchester City last weekend, but at Molineux their potential was clear for all to see.

A frantic first half ended 2-2 after Wolves cancelled out Nicolas Jackson's opener and then Cole Palmer's stunning strike.

Chelsea ran riot in the second half though, with Noni Madueke scoring a 14-minute hat-trick before Joao Felix scored on his second debut for the club.

The manner of Chelsea's victory will give Maresca's players confidence after a hectic summer characterised by poor performances and off-field turmoil.

Jackson in particular will look to use his early goal as as springboard to enjoy a better second season at the club.

The Senegal international scored 14 goals in his first season at Stamford Bridge following his £32 million move from Villarreal, but fans became frustrated with his wasteful finishing.

The 23-year-old missed 24 big chances last season, the third-most in the Premier League.

He even came under fire from Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel, who after the City game slammed Jackson's performance.

"You need to have a striker who knows how to hit a ball in the back of the net and that's what we don't have," Mikel told beIN Sports.

"I know I talk so much about him and sometimes I sound like I disrespect him, but I don't disrespect him."

After scoring Chelsea's fastest league goal since 2017 on Sunday, Jackson let Mikel know exactly how he felt about the criticism.

"Shut your mouth, don't talk s***, we are killing ourself for Africa," posted on Instagram while tagging Mikel's account.

Fans were left stunned by Jackson's message, and many weren't impressed.

"You know Chelsea is filled with kids when they have one good performance and start taking shots at every critic," one fan wrote on X.

Another commented: "Bro had one good game after having 20 s*** games and this is what he's saying?".

A third fan simply replied: "Cringe."
