EPL: Nottingham Forest Proved Tough Opponents – Madueke

Noni Madueke, Chelsea’s talented winger, had high praise for Nottingham Forest’s tenacity after their 1-1 draw in the Premier League.

Madueke, who scored the equalizing goal, described Forest as a “stubborn side” that made the game difficult with their defensive approach.

This stubbornness was on full display as Forest withstood a late Chelsea onslaught, despite being down to 10 players after James Ward-Prowse’s sending off.

Madueke’s goal in the 57th minute canceled out Chris Wood’s opener, which had given Forest the lead just four minutes into the second half.

Despite Chelsea’s dominance, Forest’s resilience paid off, earning them a priceless Premier League point.

Madueke’s post-game comments highlighted Forest’s defensive strategy, saying, “They are a stubborn side.

“”We went into the game with the intention to take three points but we couldn’t get over the line and it’s frustrating.

“They were defending pretty much the whole game and sometimes it just doesn’t fall. We go into the international break and come back prepared for Liverpool.

“Credit to them, they are resilient with a lot of players behind the ball. They know if you give us space we are dangerous, having said that we could have scored three, four or five, but its one of those games.”
