Chelsea lose to Nottingham Forest with issues remaining despite £1bn spend

CHELSEA 0-1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST: Anthony Elanga scored his first Reds goal since moving from Manchester United to earn Steve Cooper’s side all three points in west London

Chelsea’s mixed start to the Premier League season continued as Nottingham Forest secured a famous 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.

It had been 28 years since Forest last won away at Chelsea but Steve Cooper’s side produced an impressive performance to rewrite the history books. Anthony Elanga struck in the 48th minute to earn The Reds their first away victory of the season and a vital three points on the road.

As for Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino cut a frustrated figure on the touchline as his side failed to score for the first time this term – despite spending £1billion on new players since Todd Boehly took over last summer. Nicolas Jackson squandered the Blues’ best chance late on as he fired over Matt Turner’s crossbar.

Chelsea now have just four points from their opening four Premier League games, which is their worst start to a season since 1995. Here are five talking points from west London.
