Chelsea’s winning run in the Premier League was brought to an end by 10-man Nottingham Forest who battled to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge to maintain their own strong start to the season.

Forest have made great strides defensively this season. Nuno sees being tight at the back as an important foundation to build from, and the work put in during pre-season and on the training ground is paying dividends. Just six goals conceded in seven games; the same number as Arsenal, with only Liverpool (two) performing better.

Cole Palmer’s reaction as Chris Kavanagh blew the full-time whistle was to collapse immediately to the turf. That said everything. Chelsea will wonder how they did not win this game, even if it was Nottingham Forest who almost nicked it - twice - at the death.
