Chelsea 0 Nottingham Forest 1: Ex-Man Utd star Anthony Elanga snatches all three points as Blues slip into bottom half


ANTHONY ELANGA scored his first Nottingham Forest goal to stun Chelsea.

The former Manchester United winger – one of 18 new summer signings – kept his cool to slot in and silence Stamford Bridge three minutes after half-time.

Forest won the ball in the Chelsea half when Moises Caicedo was dispossessed.

And when Taiwo Awoniyi slipped the ball through Thiago Silva’s legs, Elanga made no mistake.

Mauricio Pochettino turned to deadline-day arrival Cole Palmer just after the hour mark.

But it was another summer signing, Nicolas Jackson, who had his head in his hands on 83 minutes as he squandered a glorious chance.

The Chelsea striker was in the perfect position to latch on to the ball following Raheem Sterling’s solo win – only for the Senegal man to fire over from close range.
