Anthony Elanga's goal gave Nottingham Forest their first win at Stamford Bridge since 1995
Well, more specifically, it was a gawkishly heavy touch from Moises Caicedo which put the move in motion. Taiwo Awoniyi collected the ball from Caicedo and Conor Gallagher, who were pressed into a cheap error barely excusable from a £1.15m player, let alone one 100 times that. Awoniyi, on a seven-game league scoring streak himself, smoothly found Elanga, who in turn found the back of the net with infinite ease.
For Forest, this was the result they both wanted and deserved after two imposing away performances at Arsenal and Man Utd already this season. They only retained their Premier League place by virtue of their exceptional City Ground record, yet Steve Cooper looks to have resolved that issue over the summer.
Elanga’s goal should also have allayed Forest fears over Brennan Johnson’s £50m departure to Spurs. The ex-Man Utd forward’s relentlessly intelligent running bamboozled Chelsea’s defence in his 45-minute star turn, showing a natural kinesis with Awoniyi and Morgan Gibbs-White. For Chelsea’s smorgasbord of summer additions, this was a bleak reminder of how far there is left to go. Nicholas Jackson, having scored his first Premier League goal against Luton, was booked for shameless simulation in the first half, before flicking the ball over the crossbar from less than six yards out seven minutes from time. Caicedo, the best player on the pitch in dispatches, will only be remembered for his Elanga pre-assist.
