A fifth added: “Jackson is actually a menaceeeee.”
While another joked: “Funniest thing about this is, Jackson came over to Kovacic and started the conversation.”
Jackson continued his recent hot streak in front of goal as he netted against Man City in the match.
Meanwhile in the game Chelsea’s Cole Palmer took the plaudits as he netted a late penalty to earn the hosts a point.
He had been booked earlier in the game for scuffing up the penalty spot before Erling Haaland’s penalty.
Palmer was also on the receiving end of a shove from Haaland at the end of the game as he tried to listen in on City’s players discussing tactics.
