Chelsea fans baffled as Nicolas Jackson receives rare ninth yellow card – but only one has been for a foul.

Nicolas Jackson received his ninth yellow card without being on the pitch, and the Chelsea star's disciplinary record is incredible.

His last warning came at the Blues club. 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace on Monday night.

And this despite the fact that the Senegalese international had already left the field 15 minutes earlier after being substituted.

The 22-year-old could be seen running down the touchline after Enzo Fernandez's last-gasp goal as he joined his teammates in the celebrations.

He later received a yellow card for leaving the technical area, which was confirmed by the referees.

Jackson is now just one yellow card away from a two-game suspension, which will mean he will have racked up 10 for the season.

However, his record is made even stranger by the fact that only one of his yellow cards was fouled.

That was against Tottenham in November last year, when Chelsea achieved a 4-1 victorywith Jackson scoring a hat-trick on Mauricio Pochettino's return against his former employers.

The rest of his cautionable fouls have been for disagreement with the referee, arguing or entering the field of play as a substitute.

He has left Chelsea fans completely baffled by his disciplinary record.
