Nottingham Forest sacks manager Postecoglou after 3-0 Chelsea loss

Chelsea secured a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, highlighted by Josh Acheampong scoring his first senior goal with a header from Pedro Neto's cross. Acheampong, a 19-year-old defender, has been receiving strong support and inspiration from Chelsea captain Reece James, who praised Acheampong's performance and has been a key figure for him and the team. Fabrizio Romano noted that Chelsea's management has shown faith in Acheampong's development by opting not to sign a new center back during the summer transfer window despite injuries to other defenders. The match also saw Pedro Neto score the second goal and Reece James add a third, celebrating his 200th Chelsea appearance. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest's manager Ange Postecoglou was sacked immediately after the game following a series of poor results, marking the shortest managerial tenure in Premier League history. Chelsea will look to maintain their momentum with upcoming fixtures against Ajax in the Champions League and Sunderland in the Premier League.
