Chelsea suffered a home defeat to Nottingham Forest, marking their sixth consecutive Premier League loss for the first time since 1993. Interim coach Calum McFarlane criticized the team's 'unacceptable' performance in the opening 15 minutes, with goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Igor Jesus securing the win for Forest.

Chelsea's interim head coach Calum McFarlane admitted that the opening 15 minutes of their home defeat to Nottingham Forest were 'not acceptable', as the team extended their losing streak to six consecutive Premier League matches—a first since 1993.

The match saw Nottingham Forest take an early lead with a header from Taiwo Awoniyi in the second minute. Igor Jesus doubled the advantage from the penalty spot in the 15th minute, and Awoniyi later scored again to secure a convincing victory for Forest.

McFarlane's comments underscore Chelsea's ongoing struggles in the league, with this historic losing run adding pressure as the club seeks to reverse their fortunes.
