Three wins in a row!
It wasn’t an easy match at Nottingham Forest, but the lads dug in and showed some grit & toughness in this match to take the 3 points late on a wonderful cross by Reece James that was headed in by Nico Jackson winning it, 3-2. For the 1st 10 minutes, the Blues were all over Forest dominating possession and looking to blow away Forest, but the home team unlocked Chelsea’s attack by countering with their pacy wingbacks who happen to be former academy players, Callum Hudson-Odoi. Hudson-Odoi netted the go ahead goal 2-1 in the 74th minute, forcing Mauricio Pochettino to make changes that showed the quality of the squad on the bench. It was 1st Raheem Sterling who subbed on right before the go ahead goal, then Reece James who assisted in the match winner. Two more matches remain and this serves to remind anyone, that no match is easy in the Premier League.
Just 5 days left in the Premier League season and the last away match has the Blues traveling down to seaside to face Brighton FC. The Seagulls helped the Blues out last weekend by drawing with Newcastle leaving them tied on point with Chelsea, with also two matches remaining. The Geordies now head to Old Trattford to face Manchester United in a midweek matchup tomorrow with all teams looking for a result to get up into the remaining European qualification spots. It’s going down to the very last match of the season to determine the final standings.
Come down to the Londoner Addison this Wednesday afternoon and kick it with the Shed End Dallas crew. We look forward to seeing you there!
Cheers!
