Premier League 2 report: Nottingham Forest 2-4 Chelsea

17 Jan 2025


Chelsea Under-21s secured our second win in five days in the Premier League 2, completing a brilliant comeback at Nottingham Forest by netting four second-half goals on Friday evening.

It was clear from the start that this game would be full of excitement and chances, as Chelsea aimed to make it back-to-back wins after our earlier success in the Premier League 2 against Reading on Monday.

However, some would say we didn’t make it easy for ourselves. Although we started brightly, it was Forest that took the lead through Joe Gardner, who then doubled his tally to put us two goals down at the break.

However, the Blues came out with fire and determination in the second half. We didn’t give up or lose hope, and that drive pushed us to turn the game around. First, Harrison Murray-Campbell made a superb charge into the area and spotted Brodi Hughes. Hughes cut the ball back for Jimmy-Jay Morgan, who finished powerfully to pull one back.

The momentum kept building. Morgan and Donnell McNeilly linked up perfectly for our equaliser, when Morgan played a neat chip to McNeilly, who calmly ran onto it and tapped over the line. Morgan wasn’t finished. Continuing to cause problems, he put Chelsea ahead with a towering header from a brilliant Richard Olise cross.

To seal the win and add a perfect ending to a chilly evening at the Loughborough University Stadium, McNeilly closed the scoring with his second goal of the night. He capitalised on another bold set-up from Morgan, finishing with a composed high shot to complete our thrilling comeback.

== Finding our feet ==

Chelsea started the game confidently, dominating possession and building momentum from the back. Winger Ato Ampah was the first to trouble Nottingham Forest’s defence. Using his speed to beat his marker out wide, he whipped in a dangerous cross, which skimmed just past the face of goal.


McNeilly drove forward and charged into the penalty area, setting up Morgan for a close-range chance. However, Fin Back slid in at the last moment to block the shot and spare George Murray-Jones from being tested in goal.

On the 10-minute mark, McNeilly nearly broke the deadlock with a brilliant solo effort. Dribbling past several red shirts, he reached the edge of the box and unleashed a low, stinging shot which drifted inches wide. It was another clear warning from the Blues, signaling our intent to take the lead.

Forest eventually pushed back. Ben Hammond made a smart run down the wing before sending in a dangerous cross toward Gardner, but Chelsea defender Hughes intercepted the ball and diverted it over the bar.


The Reds gained confidence and threatened again after winning the ball in a dangerous area. Winger Kyle McAdam unleashed a powerful strike, but Travis Akomeah made a superb sliding tackle to block the shot and prevent them from opening the scoring.

Chelsea responded with another close call. Ampah, a constant threat on the wing, delivered a pinpoint cross into the penalty area. Morgan did well to leap highest and meet it with a flicked header that looked destined for the back of the net, but looped just over the bar.

== Falling behind ==

Despite a strong start from Chelsea, it was the hosts who broke the deadlock on the counter-attack. Jack Nadin sent a long ball to Jimmy Sinclair, who found space on the wing. Sinclair sprinted forward and delivered a sharp pass to Gardner, who tapped it in at the near post, beating Blues keeper Eddie Beach from close range.

However, we pushed for an equaliser. Harrison McMahon and Samuel Rak-Sakyi worked well as a midfield duo, helping the Blues build play upfield in search of McNeilly. Despite our efforts, Forest's compact defence made it difficult to create clear chances.


The Reds then doubled their advantage at their home ground. Striker Gardner scored his second of the evening with a determined run down the wing. He held off Akomeah, twisting and turning his way into the penalty box before firing a low strike into the bottom corner, out of the Chelsea keeper's reach. The Blues had work to do after the break, heading into the interval trailing 2-0.

== Comeback sparked ==

Chelsea returned after the restart with renewed energy, hunting for a route back into the game. Filipe Coelho turned to his bench at half-time, introducing Kiano Dyer and Olise. Both substitutes made an immediate impact, driving the ball forward and gaining the team momentum.


It didn’t take long for the Blues to make our mark on the scoreline. The breakthrough came from a brilliant run by defender Murray-Campbell, who charged into the box and found Hughes. The right-back cleverly drew the keeper out of position before cutting the ball back to Morgan, who delivered a clinical finish into the back of the net, narrowing Forest’s advantage.

We were building real momentum now. With a goal under our belt, we knew we only needed to maintain the pressure in order to find more. Ampah was the next to test Murray-Jones in goal, but his looping strike from distance was comfortably caught.

It felt like only a matter of time before we found the equaliser - and we did, through striker McNeilly. Olise did brilliantly to carry the ball forward and deliver a perfectly threaded through-ball to Morgan. He showed great composure, executing a short chip over the Forest keeper, who had come off his line. Our No9 latched onto the ball and provided the decisive touch, bringing our comeback to life for good.


With the pressure building on the Reds, the team started to struggle. Back received his second yellow of the game for a tackle on substitute Mheuka, who was advancing in the build-up to a counter, leaving Forest down to 10 men for the remainder of the match.

It felt like we were now in control and had found our rhythm. Mheuka was the next to threaten Nottingham Forest, firing a powerful strike from distance. However, it skimmed agonisingly over the crossbar, a frustrating near-miss.

== Grabbing big moments ==

The Blues continued to dig deep and it was clear we wanted it more than Forest. A brilliant comeback was completed when Morgan secured his second goal of the evening in fine fashion. Olise delivered a lofted ball into the area, where Morgan used his leap to power a header into the top corner. It was a massive moment, followed by loud celebrations.


Just two minutes later, we extended our lead through McNeilly. Once again, the lively Morgan closed down a Forest player, dispossessing him and threading a through-ball for McNeilly to chase. With composure in front of goal, our striker chipped the ball over Murray-Jones, who had rushed off his line, finding the back of the net just as he entered the penalty box.

Chelsea continued to control possession, maintaining our advantage away from home through the closing minutes to secure our second Premier League 2 win of the week, returning to Cobham with three points from a dramatic 4-2 victory.

莫瑞坎貝爾本場精華：
摩根本場精華：
麥克尼利本場精華：
Chelsea Youth 認為森林下半場體能掉太多，無法維持上半場的強度：
戴爾制霸中場，莫瑞坎貝爾攻守皆優，摩根和麥克尼利凌虐對手整場。這是 U21 本季第五次逆轉勝，客場目前平均進 4 球：
摩根和麥克尼利目前都在 PL2 進 8 球，排名第二，而領跑者已外租：
摩根、麥克尼利、大衛．華盛頓、維爾目前本季各項賽事都進 9 球，摩根最近 2900 分鐘進 25 球，幾乎是 120 分鐘進 1 球，麥克尼利則是 1300 分鐘進 15 球，平均 87 分鐘進 1 球：
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
順足 4231 好用繼續用，穿著 9 號球衣的麥克尼利卻更常讓出中鋒位子回撤拿球，但上半場踢到大鐵板，進攻一盤散沙，根本創造不出什麼機會，前段阿科梅阿後場掉球差點被懲罰，中段被簡單的反擊傳中打爆，阿科梅阿又多次被秀，實在守不住 Joe Gardner，吃了黃牌後又被雜耍般的一條龍盤帶打爆，十分難堪。

下半場做出雙調整後立刻收到效果，變成一面倒的壓著打，莫瑞坎貝爾後插上讓休斯助攻摩根，又馬上換上梅烏卡踢左翼加強進攻，接著中路精妙配合換摩根讓麥克尼利吃餅，森林 Finn Back 雙黃下場後更是完全壓在半場打，歐里塞左路下底傳中讓摩根頂進超前分，開球後摩根又反搶 + 直塞讓麥克尼利小角度追加進球，四球都跟他有關，太猛了！其實上下半場反差那麼大，與其說小車自己突飛猛進，倒不如說是森林自己踢崩了，完全沒有抵抗力，有點莫名。
