Chelsea fans have turned on two of their players despite Nottingham Forest win

A contingent of Chelsea fans have turned on two of the players despite their victory over Nottingham Forest.

Mauricio Pochettino's side boosted their chances of claiming a place in Europe next season after a dramatic 3-2 win at Forest.

Mykhailo Mudryk's opener was cancelled out by Willy Boly, before Chelsea academy graduate Callum Hudson-Odoi curled in a lovely finish to put Forest 2-1 ahead.

But the Blues came back to win with two late goals coming courtesy of Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson. The result moved them level on points with sixth-placed Newcastle and three points clear of Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Forest are all-but safe, three points ahead of Luton in the final relegation spot with a vastly superior goal difference heading into the last game of the season.

Despite the win, some Chelsea fans on social media were ruing their £3.5million sale of Hudson-Odoi to Forest last summer, and claiming the 23-year-old is a superior player to big-money signings Mudryk and Noni Madueke.

In response to a post about Hudson-Odoi, one person wrote on X, formally Twitter: "Clear of Mudryk and Madueke ffs."

Another said: "Chelsea sold him for 3m and signed Mudryk and Madueke. Poor recruitment."

A third added: "He is far better than all Chelsea attackers."

A fourth person said: "And he just made Chelsea regret they sold him for nothing!"

Hudson-Odoi was once the golden boy of the Chelsea academy, and in 2019 he was handed a reported £150,000-a-week contract, with the Blues also rejecting bids of up to £35million from Bayern Munich.

But upon breaking into the first team injuries severely halted his progress, and with his contract running down Chelsea were forced to sell.

Since signing for Forest he has enjoyed somewhat of a career resurgence, having started 11 of their past 13 matches and claimed eight goals and two assists this term.

The final day of the season will see Nottingham Forest take on relegated Burnley, while Chelsea host Bournemouth.
