Jackson sent off as Chelsea lose to Flamengo

**Nicolas Jackson was sent off – again – as Chelsea lost 3-1 to Brazilian side Flamengo in their second group game of the Club World Cup.**

Pedro Neto put the Blues ahead in Philadelphia on 13 minutes but they conceded two goals and were reduced to 10 men in the space of six second-half minutes.

Bruno Henrique equalised and Danilo put Flamengo ahead before Jackson – sent off against Newcastle near the end of the season, [**much to head coach Enzo Maresca’s annoyance**](https://www.westlondonsport.com/chelsea/jackson-told-he-needs-to-make-amends-for-sending-off) – saw red again.

This time the striker – on his 24th birthday – was dismissed for an ugly challenge on Lucas Ayrton.

Wallace Yan added a late third for Flamengo, who are on course to win the group.

Chelsea need to beat African side ES Tunis on Tuesday to qualify for the last 16.

**Chelsea:** Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; James (c) (Lavia 64), Caicedo; Enzo (Madueke 82), Palmer (Guiu 82); Pedro Neto, Delap (Jackson 64).
