He had a massive chance in the first half but was unable to take a shot at goal.

An opportunity to attack the goal saw the Senegalese shouldered off the ball by Kyle Walker.

He wasted all the opportunities provided to him on a platter, leading Shearer to slam his efforts

“Mauricio Pochettino feels Chelsea should be about fourth on expected goals, and this is exactly what he’s on about,” Shearer told BBC One.

“Jackson never looked comfortable. They are absolute sitters. They really are. Three great chances for him.”
