Awoniyi’s assist nail Chelsea at Stamford Bridge

Nigerian forward, Taiwo Awoniyi, was involved as Nottingham Forest beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Awoniyi who has scored for Forest in all their Premier League matches this season already, set Anthony Elanga up to slot the only goal of the match home.

Chelsea’s spending on deadline day took their total splashed on new players in just over a year under a consortium fronted by Todd Boehly to over £1 billion ($1.3 billion).

Moises Caicedo’s move from Brighton which could rise to £115 million broke the British transfer record last month.

But the Ecuador international was at fault for the only goal at Stamford Bridge to leave Mauricio Pochettino’s men embarrassed.

Elanga slotted home three minutes into the second half after Caicedo gave the ball away inside his own half.

New signing Cole Palmer was thrown on to try and turn the game around, but Chelsea’s lack of a natural goalscorer, despite their huge outlay, was again exposed.

Pochettino has won just one of his first four games in charge to leave Chelsea already eight points adrift of City.
