"Ange Postecoglou's reign as Nottingham Forest manager was ended after a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday as Arsenal remained on top thanks to Leandro Trossard's winner at Fulham. Postecoglou was sacked after just eight games and 40 days in charge at the City Ground, making his the shortest ever managerial stint in Premier League history. Forest picked up just one point from the Australian's five league games and were also dumped out of the League Cup by second-tier Swansea."
"Club owner Evangelos Marinakis left his seat during the match as Chelsea took control in the second half and Postecoglou's fate was confirmed shortly after full-time. Forest are already looking for their third manager of the season after Nuno Espirito Santo was dismissed last month. Chelsea had to survive an early onslaught before two goals in three minutes early in the second period swung the game in the Blues' favour. Teenager Josh Acheampong headed in his first senior goal from Pedro Neto's corner. Neto curled in a free-kick to double Chelsea's lead before Reece James added a third late on to lift the visitors up to sixth in the table. Defeat saw Forest fall into the relegation zone."
"City remain three points behind the leaders but moved up to second thanks to another double from Erling Haaland to beat Everton 2-0."
