Chelsea 0-1 Forest:
Anthony Elanga puts Mykhailo Mudryk to shame with insane skill
A video of Anthony Elanga embarrassing Mykhailo Mudryk during Nottingham Forest’s clash with Chelsea this weekend has gone viral online social, fans love what they see from the front.
The pair met at Stamford Bridge but it was the visitors who won, beating Chelsea 1-0 and leaving Mauricio Pochettino with his second defeat of the tournament as manager of the Blues. Elanga was the star of the game, terrorizing the home team’s defence, and it was his solo goal that sealed the deal and scored Steve Cooper and his men.
The goal came just three minutes into the second half and was the result of Forest capitalizing on a mistake by Moises Caicedo, as Elanga poked a hole through the Chelsea defense and headed home. It was Elanga’s first goal for Forest, but it wasn’t the only thing he did during the game that got everyone talking.
Elanga’s goal isn’t the only thing that has impressed Forest fans, with a video of him beating Mudryk in shameful style going viral on social media. As Cooper’s side held on to the lead as the game entered the final stages, they were intent on keeping possession, causing the former Manchester United man to waste time and appear to be heading for the farthest corner of the side. left yard.
Saved by Mudryk, who was trying to win the ball back in the 95th minute, Elanga brutally destroyed the Chelsea player by quickly turning and circling the ball around the Ukrainian player’s feet before jumping over him and get the ball back. that control.

After avoiding relegation last season, one of the first things the Cooper team did was bring Elanga on board when they signed him in the first place. take over.
The striker is in superb form for Forest, with one goal and one assist in his first four appearances. The 21-year-old looks set to play an important role for the club as they try to cement their place as an established Premier League side and his £15m price tag seems like a bargain.
Considering Chelsea spent almost £90m on Mudryk earlier this year, he hasn’t even been able to live up to the expectations surrounding him. The Ukrainian has really struggled to find form in England and has only provided two assists at Stamford Bridge so far.
The striker has yet to score a goal for the Blues in a competitive match and if the situation is not changed quickly this decision will be considered a failure. Being so shamelessly beaten by Elanga was just the beginning of a bad experience so far.
