PREMIER LEAGUE : CHELSEA VS NOTTINGHAM FOREST – 04/05/2026 (PHOTO – TAIWO AWONYI CELEBRATES)

THIS WAS A FEISTY MATCH YESTERDAY BETWEEN CHELSEA VS NOTTINGHAM FOREST WITH CHELSEA MAKING 656 PASSES, WITH A 92% PASS ACCURACY, HAVING 10 CORNERS, (67% POSSESSION), AND 18 SHOTS WITH 5 ON-TARGET WITH A CRACKER FROM CHELSEA’S JOAO PEDRO IN STOPPAGE TIME AT 90 +3 MINS!

VITOR PEREIRA MADE 8 CHANGES TO HIS NOTTINGHAM FOREST SIDE, AND WHEN ASKED WHY, HE SAID, WE CHANGE THE PLAYERS, BUT “WE KEEP THE SPIRIT”, AND KEEP THE SPIRIT THEY CERTAINLY DID, MAKING 300 PASSES, WITH A 78% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAVING 6 SHOTS WITH 4 ON-TARGET, 3 ON WHICH SUCCESSFULLY REACHED-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET, INCLUDING A BRILLIANT BRACE FROM TAIWO AWONYI AT 2 MINS., AND 52 MINS. RESPECTIVELY, PLUS A BRILLIANT PENALTY FROM IGOR JESUS AT 15 MINS.

THERE WAS A NASTY CLASH OF HEAD, WHICH RESULTED IN A STOPPAGE OF PLAY, AND MEDICS BEING CALLED, WHEN JESSE DERRY CLASHED WITH FELLOW TEENAGER ZACH ABBOTT, WITH JESSE DERRY BEING STRETCHERED OFF, (LOOKING BADLY INJURED.)

AND THERE WAS ANOTHER BAD CLASH OF HEADS ALSO IN THE 60TH MINUTE, WHEN GIBBS-WHITE AND SANCHEZ BOTH WENT FOR THE BALL, CONSEQUENTING IN A BLOODY-HEADED GIBBS-WHITE, WHO WAS SUBBED FOR CHRIS WOOD AFTER LEAVING THE PITCH.

SO, AFTER 90 MINS., IT WAS A 3 – 1 WIN TO NOTTINGHAM FOREST AND MUCH CONCERN ABOUT THE WELFARE OF DERRY AND GIBBS-WHITE! (WE WISH THEM ALL THE BEST FOR A FULL AND SPEEDY RECOVERY!)
