After the start of the new season, the Premier League continues to compete fiercely for the title. After the first 7 rounds, the points difference between the top five is only within 3 points. Although Chelsea, one of the favorites to win the championship, is only ranked 7th, it is only 5 points away from Arsenal, who is the top player. On the evening of October 18th, in the first game of the 8th round of the Premier League, Chelsea played against Nottingham Forest away from home. Neto passed and shot in 3 minutes and scored with a free kick. James sealed the victory. The Blues defeated the team with 3 goals in the away game.

Nottingham Forest was the dark horse of the Premier League last season. However, in the new season, due to conflicts between Nuno and the senior management, Nuno was fired. Postkoglu, who succeeded him, led the team to perform poorly and has lost 7 games in all competitions. Due to the absence of Palmer and Enzo, Caisse sat on the bench for many rounds. Maresca pushed Gusto to the midfielder position to partner with Lavia and Santos in the midfield; Ganaccio, Neto, and Joao Pedro formed the frontcourt trident; James, Achampong, Chalobah Jr., and Cucurella joined forces in the defense, and the goalkeeper was Sanchez.

However, after the game started, Chelsea's defense frequently had problems; Gusteau made a mistake in returning the ball in the first minute and was intercepted, and Awoniyi's personal ability broke into the penalty area and missed a low shot; in the 10th minute, Chalobah Jr.'s ball was intercepted, and Anderson tripped himself when shooting in the penalty area; the Blues escaped again; in the 20th minute, Lavia made a mistake in stopping the ball, and it was thanks to Gibbs-White that he hit the ball directly high and did not lose the ball.

In the 38th minute, Neto made a diagonal pass, and Pedro made a forward pass. Santos volleyed the crossbar and went out of bounds; in the 41st minute, Pedro retreated to the center circle to catch the ball and passed the ball long, but Santos's shot missed again.

Seeing the team's poor performance in the first half, Maresca decisively replaced Caicedo after returning in the second half, and Gitens and Giou also got the opportunity to play; in the 49th minute, Neto switched to the left and used his speed advantage to break away from the defense and cross the ball. Achampang, who was ambushing in the penalty area, leaped high and headed the ball into the net, 1:0! The 19-year-old Achampang scored his first goal in the Blues. In the 52nd minute, Neto took a free kick from the front of the penalty area and hit it directly through the wall and into the net. Zellers was helpless, 2:0! Neto passed and shot in 3 minutes.

After conceding 2 goals in a short period of time, the Forest home fans burst into loud boos. As the owner, Marinakis was also livid in the stands. In the 57th minute, Pedro got rid of Sangare's defense and cut in with a low shot that hit the side net; Forest did not have no opportunities, but they were wasted one after another. In the 60th minute, Zinchenko made a precise arc pass from the left, and Williams, who was unmarked, fired a volley but directly fired the anti-aircraft cannon; in the 63rd minute, Milenkovich powerfully headed the goal during the corner kick attack, and Sanchez went to the ground to make a wonderful save; in the 70th minute, Odoi broke away from the left and made a pass, and Jesus' shot was ruthlessly rejected by the crossbar.

In the 84th minute, Esteban took a corner kick. Zers failed to hit the ball far. James volleyed the penalty kick into the net to seal the victory, 3:0! Seeing this result, Forest fans left the game early in disappointment. In the 86th minute, Gusteau was sent off after two yellows and one red. This was the fifth red card Chelsea had received in the past six games. In the end, Chelsea won 3:0, leaving Postkoglu without a win in eight games. There is a high probability that the Australian coach will be fired.
