Chelsea 2 Nottingham Forest 0 match review



 A Stellar performance from Chelsea young guns led them to an impressive win against Nottingham Forest in the 3rd round of FA cup. Chelsea players wore a stunning retro kit to mark 50th anniversary of FA cup victory. Hudson Odoi and Reece James stole the show with an impressive performance the duo linked up brilliantly to cause havoc in the Nottingham camp.
                                     Chelsea scored their first goal merely 7 minutes into the game courtesy of  a brilliant goal by Hudson Odoi who showed glimpses of his old form after a staggering run since  coming back from an injury. Nottingham Forest almost found their way into the match after a penalty was awarded against Chelsea only to be denied by the VAR. Ross Barkley soon doubled the lead for Chelsea it was Odoi once again who created problems for Nottingham defence and slotted in a shot which was initially saved by the Nottingham keeper but fell kindly for Ross Barkley who slotted it into the net to make it 2-0
                                      Reece James was the key man for Chelsea both offensively and in the defence. James posed a threat for Nottingham providing width to Chelsea's attack and was robbed off his assists by Michy Batshuayi who was unable to capitalize on any of those spectacular crosses. Nottingham did put a goal in but the celebrations were cut off soon as the goal from Yates was ruled out by the VAR. Chelsea advanced to the next round in some style but Michy's performance made it obvious on why Chelsea are into the market to buy another striker.
