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.

The first half was uncharacteristically subdued for Chelsea, with Cole Palmer nearly breaking the deadlock, striking the post after a slick assist from Noni Madueke. Forest’s best moment came from Murillo's thunderous shot, but Robert Sanchez was equal to it. All in all, Stamford Bridge was left wanting for action in the opening 45 minutes.

Chelsea's five-match winning run came to an end as the Blues struggled in a 1-1 draw against 10-men Nottingham Forest, with Noni Madueke's effort cancelling out Chris Wood's opener. Enzo Maresca made wholesale changes and named an entirely new starting lineup from the team that defeated Gent 4-2 in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.
