Throughout his career, Jackson has gone through spells of not scoring goals, but James is impressed by his hard work. “That is what he’s done and he got his reward. I’m happy for him. It’s a huge confidence boost for anyone to get a hat-trick, especially against such a good side,” James stated, referring to Jackson’s performance against Tottenham.
