Chelsea faltered again after offset by the host Nottingham Forest 1-1. The result also created a bad score for the Blues.
Chelsea visited The City Ground Stadium in the match which finished Monday (2/1/2023) in the morning WIB. The West London team opened the scoring through Raheem Sterling early in the first half, before Serge Aurier scored Nottingham’s reply while forcing the game to finish equally strong.
With this result Chelsea failed to continue the positive momentum after beating Bournemouth 2-0 after Christmas. This means the Blues have won just once in their last seven Premier League matches after winning the first three of the Graham Potter era.
Even worse, Chelsea are still perched in the middle of the Premier League standings with 25 points from 16 matches, seven points away from Manchester United in the top four. choose stated, this is Chelsea’s lowest number of points in the same phase since the 2015/2016 season when it finished 10th.
“Overall it was a terrible performance for us,” Potter told BBC. “You have to give Forest credit because they did their best at what they are best at.”
“We weren’t good enough when we took control. It wasn’t easy to create chances against Forest because they defended deep and attacked the gaps well. We can improve on that.”
“We suffered in the second half so in the end it’s not a happy performance, we should have accepted a point but we’re disappointed,” Potter said after Chelsea’s draw at Nottingham Forest.
