"Ange Postecoglou was sacked by Nottingham Forest immediately in the aftermath of a 3-0 defeat against Chelsea, as Pedro Neto scored one and set up another at the City Ground. Under-fire Postecoglou hit the headlines with Friday's impassioned defence of his time at Forest, and spell last season with Tottenham, but Saturday's loss brought the end of his short tenure."
"The hosts announced his exit shortly after the full-time whistle, confirming his departure with a short statement that referenced "a series of disappointing results and performances". Forest are now winless through his first eight games in all competitions, with home supporters voicing their frustrations after failing to capitalise on an encouraging first half. Morgan Gibbs-White twice went close as an injury-hit Chelsea, who were without Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez, struggled to settle and committed a plethora of errors at the back."
"Those missed opportunities were punished when Neto teed up teenager Josh Acheampong to head home his first Premier League goal in the 49th minute. Neto swiftly added to Forest's frustration when sneaking a low drive through Matz Sels' hands, before Reece James' 84th-minute volley sealed a win that was marred by Malo Gusto's needless sending-off. A fourth defeat in five Premier League games under Postecoglou leaves Forest 17th on just five points,"
