Chelsea head coach Calum McFarlane sharply criticized his players following their 3:1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. This was reported by Goal.com xabar beradi.
The visitors took control from the opening minutes of the match. Taiwo Awoniyi opened the scoring in the 98th second, and Igor Jesus successfully converted a penalty in the 15th minute.
In the post-match press conference, McFarlane highlighted his team's lack of focus. According to him, the performance in the first 15 minutes was completely unjustifiable, and such errors put the team in a difficult position.
In the first half, Chelsea had a favorable opportunity to narrow the deficit. However, Cole Palmer failed to capitalize on a penalty, as his shot was saved by Matz Sels.
Additionally, Enzo Fernandez's shot hit the post. In the 52nd minute of the second half, Awoniyi scored his second goal, extending the lead.
Late in the game, Joao Pedro scored Chelsea's only goal with a beautiful strike. Having suffered their sixth consecutive defeat, the London club will now face Liverpool on Saturday.
