Chelsea lost for the second time this season in the English league, Saturday at home against Nottingham Forest (1-0), a defeat which plunges Maurico Pochettino’s team to eleventh place with four points.
After four days, the “Blues” are already off the podium where Manchester City (1st, 12 pts), Tottenham (2nd, 10 pts) and West Ham (3rd, 10 pts) are enthroned.
The Citizens, authors of a faultless since the recovery, dominated Fulham (5-1) with a hat-trick from Erling Haaland on Saturday, and Tottenham tamed the promoted Burnley (5-2).
At Stamford Bridge, Nottingham Forest took the best of Chelsea through Anthony Elanga (48th, 1-0), recruited this summer from Manchester United and came into play just before the break to replace the injured Brazilian Danilo.
