Cole Palmer says Enzo Maresca does give him creative freedom at Chelsea
That's a ludicrous challenge from Jackson.
It looked bad at first viewing. It looks ever worse on the replay.

Chelsea has capped as bad of a six-minute stretch any team can have.
From 1-0 up to down 2-1 and down a man.
Flamengo has full control over this game now, and Chelsea has to get clever to regain a point.
Wow. This is mad.
Chelsea looked pretty comfortable for most of the first half but have now conceded twice … and just had sub Nicolas Jackson sent off.
70' Flamengo 2-1 Chelsea
To be frank, that merited a red card, all day.
Heavy touch from Jackson, and he flew in with a high foot, studs well up on his opponent's shin.
Nasty, nasty tackle, a leg breaker really.
I think (and hope) it was just extremely reckless rather than aggressive, but that is a red card all over.
The referee was well placed and instantly had the card out.
68' Flamengo 2-1 Chelsea
Things go from bad to worse for Chelsea! Red card for Nicolas Jackson!
They have imploded!
65' Flamengo 2-1 Chelsea
It was an assist after a goal for Bruno Henrique, who met a corner swung in from the right and headed it back across the area.
Veteran Danilo was waiting at the back post to slide in and volley it home!

Haha, you love to see it.
Flamengo have turned it around with two goals in four minutes!
This place is rocking right now.
After wasting a great chance on his weaker right foot, Gonzalo Plata's cushion header sets up Henrique at the far post for Flamengo's equalizer. A deserved goal.
65' Flamengo 1-1 Chelsea
You can't say they haven't merited it, Flamengo. They gave Chelsea a warning seconds earlier via Plata and the winger was involved in the eventual goal too.
A nice cross from the right from Gerson to the back post, where Plata was waiting, having kept himself onside.
He nodded it cleverly back across the area, where 34-year-old sub Bruno Henrique was waiting at the back post to tap it in!
Chelsea make some changes in response, Delap off for Nicolas Jackson up front, Reece James off for Romeo Lavia in midfield.
62' Flamengo 1-1 Chelsea
And you have to say it's deserved!
The crowd at Lincoln Financial Field erupts!

61' Flamengo 0-1 Chelsea
Flamengo with maybe their best opportunity of the game.
It's passed from right to left outside the box, Plata latches onto it, he slips as he shoots yet it's still a fine save from Sanchez to tip it over.
But…
60' Flamengo 0-1 Chelsea
By the way, Flamengo manager Filipe Luis, once of Chelsea, has made the first change, Giorgian de Arrascaeta (in the middle of the above shot) off for Bruno Henrique.
Delap's pure nuisance value almost yielded a second Chelsea goal direct from that huge Sanchez kick.
They need to find one, because Flamengo continue to offer reminders that 1-0 is not a safe lead here.
57' Flamengo 0-1 Chelsea
Ooh, close. Leo Pereira and Liam Delap, not on each other's Christmas card lists, tussle underneath a high ball and the Brazilian chips it back towards his own goal, but it's over his own keeper Agustin Rossi…
And drops narrowly wide of goal. Very close to an embarrassing own goal.
Bet Delap would have rubbed that in, too…
Feels like Flamengo won't score today if they can't finish that gift from Chelsea.
Massive chance wasted by the Brazilian club. Might be checkmate if Chelsea get a second here.

54' Flamengo 0-1 Chelsea
Flamengo should be level! I can't believe that they're not!
Wow, it's actually similar circumstances to the Chelsea goal, as a defensive mistake lets an attacker in on goal, Reece James the guilty party this time.
Gerson sprints through on goal, chops back past the desperately recovering Levi Colwill, shoots right-footed across goal, it's destined for the corner but for a brilliant sliding tackle by Trevoh Chalobah.
The ball pops up to Gonzalo Plata, the 24-year-old Ecuadorian winger who was a surprise choice to play up front today. He bizarrely tries a flying volley kick with his left foot but can only poke it horribly wide with the goal gaping.
Use your right foot! You have to feel a genuine out-and-out striker like Pedro would have finished that with his eyes closed…
Sanchez down in pain after colliding with the post in his attempts to keep that shot out.
51' Flamengo 0-1 Chelsea
Good chance for Chelsea!
Gusto is fouled by Ayrton Lucas, Reece James swings in a dangerous free kick from the right, Cucurella nods it wide after not making proper contact on his header.
Centre-backs Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill behind him were queueing up to head it in and both had head in hands after failing to give Cucurella a shout to leave it.
Both were better placed to score! Cucurella, who has been everywhere today, then knocks the lively Wesley Franca off the ball.
50' Flamengo 0-1 Chelsea
Maybe I'm being harsh on someone who is ultimately still only 22 years old.
But Liam Delap should do better, as he is played down the right flank.
Loads of time to think about what he wants to do, where he wants to cross… and it's straight at the defender.
Got to do better.
