Chelsea post horrendous stat in lucky first-half escape against struggling Nottingham Forest

Chelsea posted a horrendous stat in a lucky first-half escape against a struggling Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon. Premier League action resumed this weekend following the international break, and the Blues travelled to Forest for the opening fixture of matchday eight. It should have been smooth sailing for Enzo Maresca’s troops against the Tricky Trees, given their recent form, but the visitors were taken by surprise with the intent and purpose of their hosts in the first period.
