We Ain't Got No History • • sports
Key Points:
- Nottingham Forest took an early 2-0 lead against Chelsea, with Taiwo Awoniyi scoring from a cross and then winning a penalty converted by Igor Jesus within the first 15 minutes.
- Chelsea struggled to break down Forest’s defensive setup, with limited chances and some misfortune, including a shot hitting the post and a missed penalty by Cole Palmer.
- The match was marred by injuries, including a serious head/neck injury to young Jesse Derry and goalkeeper Robert Sánchez also going off with a head injury.
- Despite João Pedro scoring a late bicycle kick goal, it was only a consolation as Chelsea suffered a heavy defeat, continuing a goal drought of 566 minutes in the league.
- Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garancho missed the game due to knocks, Levi Colwill returned, and Chelsea now face Liverpool away next Saturday with just four league games remaining this season.
