Goal during start Jackson scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) in Thursday's 4-2 win against Espanyol.

Impact Jackson has his fourth goal of the 2022-23 La Liga. Currently, the Villarreal team is expected to host Celta Vigo on Sunday. Without more than four days of rest in between Villarreal's previous and future games, the team used Jackson as its lone striker Thursday. Villarreal could start him again Sunday, especially if Gerard Moreno (calf) and Jose Luis Morales (hamstring) are out. But if not, Giovani Lo Celso, who can play regardless of Jackson's inclusion or exclusion, is expected to be Villarreal's only starting striker instead.

Active performance off the bench Jackson had four shots (two on target), created two chances and drew three fouls during Sunday's 2-1 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Jackson was brought in the 19th minute to replace injured Jose Luis Morales and ended up as his side's top performer despite not playing from the opening whistle. The forward matched his season highs in both shots attempted and chances created and could've done even better if the goal he scored just before halftime wasn't disallowed due to an offside. Morales' injury status for the upcoming games is still to be known, but Jackson will be well-positioned to fill in if there's a need.

Impact Jackson scored his first goal since Oct 23, but his day was spoiled after being shown a second yellow card Sunday. He will serve a one-match suspension Saturday against Real Madrid. He has missed more than three months with injury, and will miss yet another game with suspension. This has caused the midfielder to fall down the depth chart for the team.

Scores goal against Almeria Jackson subbed into Sunday's match against Almeria at halftime, and he scored a goal and created two chances in the 2-1 victory.

Impact Jackson made the difference on Sunday, scoring a dramatic 94th-minute goal to win the game with 10 men. It was his first goal since the season opener, but he's been getting consistent starts up front due to Gerard Moreno (hamstring) and Arnaut Danjuma's injury issues.

Logs assist in win Jackson logged one assist from one chance created and put one shot on target during 64 minutes of Monday's 2-0 win over Osasuna.

Impact Jackson has started in seven of his nine league appearances this season despite not completing the full 90 in all but his first match. He'll hope to be the key to a fruitful partnership with Arnaut Danjuma, whom he set up for the opening goal, as the team continues to look for more scoring opportunities with Gerard Moreno (hamstring) unavailable. That being said, Jackson will still compete with Giovani Lo Celso and Jose Luis Morales for minutes at striker.

Attempted four shots in draw Jackson had four shots (three on goal) in Saturday's 0-0 tie to Cadiz.

Impact Jackson had no luck getting a goal on Saturday after attempting three accurate shots on net. He has been on a six-game scoreless drought since his first goal on Aug 13. In that span he has totaled 13 shots (five on target). The 21-year-old will look to get out of his scoreless funk with a visit from Austria Vienna in Europa League play on Thursday, who have conceded 20 goals in the last 11 matches.

Climbing ladder Jackson has scored one goal and logged one assist in six appearances (five starts) during the 2022/23 league season.

Impact Jackson first made his name as an inclusion to the first team and soon proved his worth, earning a regular spot under manager Unai Emery. While his value hasn't been massive, he's done enough to give Arnaut Danjuma proper time to recover from his injury. As Danjuma is more likely to be the second striker next to Gerard Moreno and Jose Luis Morales can also fill in, Jackson will need to keep starting in order to maintain his progress. Were Jackson to move to the bench any time soon, look for him to make a bigger impact in coming seasons if the club does sell Danjuma while his value is high.

Scores opener in win jackson scored a goal off his lone shot and created two chances during Saturday's 3-0 win over Valladolid.

Impact Jackson had his first career La Liga start and made most of the opportunity, also scoring his first goal at Spanish top flight to open the scoring in the 49th minute. The youngster will probably have much more opportunities to showcase his talent during this campaign but will probably come off the bench once Arnaut Danjuma (strain) is fully fit.

Impact Jackson has come off the bench in three straight games, his first since making four sub appearances in January. Whether or not he's the next young forward to come out of this club remains to be seen but consistent minutes are always a good sign.
