Malo Gusto abject but Joao Pedro finally breaks goal drought

Full debutant Jesse Derry and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez were both brought off due to head injuries in a game won by goals for Forest by Taiwo Awoniyi (two) and Igor Jesus.

Cole Palmer missed a penalty for the Blues who only found the net in stoppage time, as Joao Pedro scored an acrobatic bicycle kick.

Dom Smith was at Stamford Bridge to rate the Chelsea players’ performances…
Did well from a pass from Sanchez that sold him short but offered very little by way of attacking output.

A terrible decision to tug down Awoniyi saw him concede a penalty.

Subbed off at half-time following a very unconvincing first-half display.

Run ragged by Forest.

On the ball, he was useful in possession but cannot escape his part to play in a defence that was all at sea.

An error-prone afternoon from the Spaniard, who has been off form for some weeks now.

Picked up his tenth yellow card of the league season on an afternoon were Forest had the beating of the Blues all ends up.

One of the better players on display for a truly rotten Chelsea at the Bridge.

Then substituted.

Hit the post early on and put in a big shift but could not avoid Chelsea’s hefty defeat.

One of the only Chelsea players who took risks.

Impressed in fits and starts on his full debut but was then stretchered off after a dangerous head collision which ended his afternoon prematurely.

Held the ball up one, had one nice run, and scored a close-range header disallowed for a marginal offside.

Then scored a stoppage-time consolation with a magnificent bicycle kick.

Brought on after Derry was stretchered off.

Worked hard but it didn’t fall for him - again.

Came on for his first appearance of the season after his injury hell.

That in itself was a success.

Brought on to steady the ship in midfield.

That didn’t happen.
