Nicolas Jackson had football fans in disbelief after wasting an incredible chance against Manchester City in the FA Cup.
The Chelsea striker was put through on goal in the first half in the FA Cup semi-final against City at Wembley and had an excellent chance to put the Blues ahead.
However, despite being one-on-one with Stefan Ortega, Jackson opted to take it past the goalkeeper, taking a heavy touch and ending up giving the ball away.
It left Chelsea fans fuming while many others could not believe what they had just seen.
Taking to X, one user said: “Not one person on the planet believed Nicolas Jackson was going to finish that chance.”
Another wrote: “Nicolas Jackson is the most frustrating player I’ve ever seen. And I watch United every week.”
A third added: “Nicolas Jackson should be subbed off after that. Embarrassing, pathetic, awful piece of play from the Chelsea striker.”
Meanwhile this fan simply stated: “What is Nicolas Jackson doing there ffs!!!”
Speaking on talkSPORT commentary, former Chelsea star Scott Minto was left just as astonished.
He remarked “Wow, what an opportunity, and you’re not going to get many of those.
“John Stones is a million miles off him. He’s trying to play offside form the halfway line and then couldn’t catch him at all, he doesn’t look right John Stones.
“And then Nicolas Jackson, what an opportunity. Just stick it past the goalkeeper!”
Chelsea and City both had golden chances in the opening period with Phil Foden also trying to take it around the goalkeeper through a gorgeous Kevin De Bruyne through ball.
However, Djordje Petrovic closed the angle down brilliantly to force the Englishman off the pitch.
In the end, Jackson’s glaring miss came back to haunt him as Bernardo Silva struck late on to secure victory for City.
It means the reigning FA Cup champions will have a chance to reclaim their crown against either Manchester United or Coventry in the final.
As for Chelsea, their wait for a trophy under Clearlake Capital continues while this is a 10th defeat at Wembley in their last 13 visits.
