Nottingham Forest 0-3 Chelsea LIVE – Postecoglou sacked after defeat

Ange Postecoglou has been SACKED by Nottingham Forest after today’s defeat.

The news came shortly after the end of the game.

He had just eight games in charge.

And that is that at the City Ground!

A comfortably win in the end for Chelsea, as Ange Postecoglou goes eight games without a win to start off his Nottingham Forest reign.

Robert Sanchez is booked for timewasting.

Probably Forest’s last chance of the game, and Nikola Milenkovic has fluffed his header wide.

Chelsea are now just taking their time with every ball.

Just about counting down the seconds.

Five more minutes…

Estevao is booked for kicking the ball away.

Another game, another red card!

This time Malo Gusto is shown a second yellow for another poor challenge on Neco Williams.

Fans are piling out of the City Ground now.

It’s getting ugly now.

And that is that!

Straight from a Chelsea corner, the ball goes through everyone and into the path of the unmarked Reece James, who blasts the ball into the back of the net.

Game, set and match.

Josh Acheampong is off for Tosin.

Ibrahim Sangare is shown a yellow card for an off the ball collision with Moises Caicedo.

Pedro Neto is coming off.

He’s replaced by Estevao.

Forest are pressing for a goal and it’s getting desperate.

Anderson gets the ball into the box yet again and after a scramble, it falls to Sangare on the edge of the box, but he fluffs his lines and it flies over the bar.

Chris Wood and Nicolo Savona come on for Murrilo and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Forest come so close again!

Hudson-Odoi’s cross is met by Jesus at the backpost, but his acrobatic effort hits both the post and crossbar!

When your luck’s out, it’s out!

A golden chance for another Forest shot but Ibrahim Sangare dummies the ball for absolutely no-one, giving back possession to Chelsea!

Forest are now getting back in the groove, and they should have scored again.

Milenkovic’s header is saved well by Robert Sanchez, before the Spaniard saves Hudson-Odoi’s follow up shot.

Forest finally get forward and really should have scored.

Oleksandr Zinchenko whips a superb ball to the back post for the onrushing Neco Williams, but the Welshman blazes the ball over the crossbar.

Those two quick fire Chelsea goals have numbed the City Ground. I do not think they can believe what has just happened.

Malo Gusto is shown a yellow card for a poor challenge on Nikola Milenkovic.

Callum Hudson-Odoi comes on for Douglas Luiz.

Chants of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ ring around the City Ground.

What a start to the second half for Chelsea, who double their lead!

Straight from the free kick, Reece James lays it off to Pedro Neto’s whose shot goes straight through the wall and into the bottom corner.

Free kick to Chelsea after good work from Joao Pedro and Marc Guiu.

Forest starting to unravel here…
