‘OUTSTANDING!’ – PUNDITS APPLAUD CHELSEA ACE IN FOREST VICTORY
Chelsea secured a vital 3-0 away win at Nottingham Forest, with Pedro Neto starring. The winger provided a superb assist for Josh Acheampong and scored a brilliant free-kick, with Reece James adding a late third.
Chelsea defeated Nottingham Forest and came back from the East Midlands with all three points.
To build on their late victory against Liverpool before the international break, Chelsea defeated Nottingham Forest away from home on Saturday. The game at the City Ground was quite entertaining and open, especially in the second half.
Josh Acheampong, a teenage star, gave Chelsea the lead after putting home a superb Pedro Neto cross with a strong header from close range.
Then, in yet another brilliant moment, Neto made it two with a low free kick inside the near post. After a corner, the ball fell right in front of the penalty spot, and seven minutes from time, Reece James scored with a low effort.
With the 19-year-old continuing to live up to the trust that Enzo Maresca has placed in him, Acheampong is certain to create headlines from this game. However, a different player was the star of the show. Here, winger Neto consistently tore Oleksandr Zinchenko apart and sent dangerous balls into the box.
On TNT Sports, commentator Lucy Ward praised Pedro Neto's assist, saying, "That is great from Neto." He improves his position to cross, and Forest finds it difficult to control the ball as it enters the box. Josh Acheampong relished that one, no doubt.
"What a strike that is," she continued after Neto scored. Ange Postecoglou is making a shift, and Pedro Neto contributed to the first goal. Matz Sels was unable to contain it.
Rachel Corsie, a BBC Sport analyst, commented on the Neto assist, saying, "Excellent goal." It is a fantastic delivery, not fizzed in with loads of pace, but it is floated into the six-yard box, and Neto simply uses his pace to create the space. Acheampong is not going to miss when he rips off Murillo in the middle and a few yards out.
Chelsea's Defensive Tactics
Chelsea gave up chances here, though, as Forest hit the bar and post with one attempt, and Robert Sanchez made a wonderful save at the hour mark. Despite this, Chelsea left the East Midlands with three points.
Following the second goal, BBC Sport commentator Micah Richards declared, "Chelsea have been awful at the back; they have not had a clean sheet in the Premier League since August." "They have been making too many mistakes, so you can tell something is wrong there.
"The forest has got the best opportunities and looks better than it has in the past. However, as Chelsea takes the lead, I fear that they may regret not taking advantage of those opportunities.
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
