The match between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea in the Premier League concluded with a clear 3-0 win for the away team, where Reece James stood out in both attack and defense.
Chelsea traveled to Nottingham Forest with high determination following a series of unimpressive results. From the first half, coach Wilfredo Caballero’s squad started proactively, creating several dangerous chances, although they couldn’t convert any into goals. The closest moment was Andrey Santos’s close-range shot in the 42nd minute which narrowly missed the target before the half ended 0-0.
In the second half, Chelsea made four simultaneous substitutions as coach Caballero brought on Marc Guiu, Jamie Gittens, Moises Caicedo, and adjusted the tactical setup to accelerate the attack. The change paid off immediately. In the 49th minute, Josh Acheampong scored from close range following a perfect assist from Pedro Neto, putting Chelsea ahead 1-0. Just three minutes later, Pedro Neto himself scored with a precise diagonal shot to increase the lead to 2-0.
Chelsea demonstrated superior strength in the second half, scoring three consecutive goals and leaving Nottingham with a convincing 3-0 victory.
Not stopping there, Reece James sealed the 3-0 win in the 84th minute with a powerful follow-up shot inside the penalty area. Although Chelsea played with one less player near the end after Malo Gusto received a second yellow card and was sent off in the 87th minute, the Blues maintained control until the final whistle.
For Nottingham, their best chance came from Igor Jesus’s shot that hit the crossbar in the 70th minute, but the forwards’ bad luck combined with Chelsea’s goalkeeper’s excellent reflexes prevented the home side from scoring. Chelsea dominated the match, secured all three points, and kept their position near the top of the league table.
