Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer was delighted for teammate Nicolas Jackson after his hat-trick in their win at Tottenham.

The Blues won 4-1 on Monday night, with Spurs having two players sent off and VAR denying five goals on the night. Jackson ended the game with a hat-trick.

Palmer struck from the penalty spot and said, "It was a big game before we came here today and they were unbeaten.

"It has been a difficult start for him [Nicolas Jackson] and we can't hide from it. He just needs to work hard on the training pitch and keep his head down, then I think he will get many hat-tricks.

"I think in the early stages, we were losing too many second balls. When the ball was bouncing. We grew into the game as it went on."

On Tottenham's red cards, he added: "It is easier to play against nine men. We knew we needed to win the game when they went down to 10 men. We needed to keep pressing and making runs in behind because the line was so high. We managed to score in the end."
