Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds City Ground, Nottingham will turn into a battlefield for Nottingham Forest FC and Chelsea FC.
5' The travelling Chelsea FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
10' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Nuno Espírito Santo will be considering his options from the bench.
15' Sweden international Anthony Elanga has been a key figure this campaign — 2 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Nottingham Forest FC and Chelsea FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
30' Noni Madueke has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 436 appearances.
32' It’s gonna be a card for Elliot Anderson.
37' Chelsea FC come into this ranked 5 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Cole Palmer made 436 appearances and scored 44 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
47' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Nottingham Forest FC and Chelsea FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
50' A stunning finish from Levi Colwill — that came from absolutely nowhere!
55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
56' Moises Caicedo was booked on 56.
57' The whistle greets Ibrahim Sangare as he departs to be replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi.
62' It is a substitution in Chelsea FC team. Jadon Sancho is replaced by Romeo Lavia on 62 minute.
67' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Reece James suffering a number of foals already.
68' Another substitution for Nottingham Forest FC to replace Nicolas Dominguez by Ryan Yates on 68 minute.
73' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
78' Malo Gusto is replacing Pedro Neto for the Chelsea FC side.
79' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Ola Aina on 79 minutes.
83' Ola Aina makes way for Jota Silva at the 83 minute mark. A tactical switch from Nottingham Forest FC.
87' It is a substitution in Chelsea FC team. Noni Madueke is replaced by Kiernan Dewsbury Hall on 87 minute.
The points are shared — Nottingham Forest FC 0-1 Chelsea FC. Honours even.
