Nicolas Jackson has won October 2024's Guinness Goal of the Month award for his strike in Chelsea's 2-1 victory against Newcastle United.
Jackson scored after an incredible move that started deep inside Chelsea's half. Cole Palmer played an incredible, defence-splitting past from just outside his own box that released Pedro Neto, who beat a challenge and passed across goal for Jackson to complete a lightning-quick counter-attacking move.
"It's an amazing team goal," Jackson said. "Not because I scored but the pass before from Cole was amazing!"

It means Jackson wins a Premier League monthly award for the first time, while it is the second time this season a Chelsea player has won the Guinness Goal of the Month award, after Palmer claimed August's prize for his wonderful lob against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Chelsea have now won three of the last four Guinness Goal of the Month awards, and have won it nine times since it was introduced in 2016/17, second only to the 10 of Manchester United.
Jackson's goal topped a shortlist of eight of the best in October after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of experts.
