“Pop, pop” - Chelsea defender celebrates win over West Ham at London Stadium with bubble jibe

Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo mocked West Ham after The Blues secured a 3-0 win against The Hammers in the Premier League on Saturday (September 21) at the London Stadium. The away win catapulted the west London side to fourth on the table with 10 points, just two points behind league leaders Liverpool.

Julen Lopetegui's side couldn't tame Nicolas Jackson, as the Senegalese bagged a first-half brace (4' and 18') and an assist (47') to take the game away from the home side.

Adarabioyo was a crucial presence in Chelsea's backline, making five clearances, one crucial interception, and blocking two shots over 90 minutes. Additionally, he maintained an 89% passing accuracy (50/56) which was impressive, considering the incessant pressing from the opposition.

After the game, Tosin Adarabioyo took to X (formerly Twitter) and mocked West Ham.

"Pop, pop," the Englishman wrote.

This message was preceded by another post where the defender had written:

"Bubbles to burst."

These taunts allude to the iconic anthem of West Ham called I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles.

Things weren't so flowery at Julen Lopetegui's camp, as pointed out by former boss David Moyes. The Scottish tactician said (via beIN Sports):

"It was a poor performance and they’ll be disappointed because we had a pretty good record against Chelsea at the London Stadium over the years. We’ve had our difficulties at Stamford Bridge but at home we’ve been pretty good against them. It’s been a disappointing day."

Chelsea's marksman Nicolas Jackson explains his celebration after opening the scoresheet against West Ham

Nicolas Jackson did not just score bangers but also showed his dance moves against West Ham on Saturday (September 21). The Senegalese forward scored the first goal with just four minutes on the clock.

However, his celebration made bigger headlines than the goal as he showed some of his slick dance moves. Explaining his celebration after the game, Jackson said (via The Independent):

“It’s to remember the legend [Michael] Jackson. I was dreaming about it two days ago so I just did it.”

If the Chelsea striker were to clinch a hat-trick, he would have done the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo 'SIU' celebration as he said in a recent interview (via Fabrizio Romano):

"When I score hat-tricks, I’ll do the siuuu celebration again!"

The last time Nicolas Jackson did the 'SIU' celebration was when he scored a hat-trick after Chelsea's thumping 4-1 win against rivals Tottenham Hotspur on November 7, 2023.
