Chelsea produced a moment of brilliance when Pedro Neto and Reece James combined for a stunning free-kick routine that stunned Nottingham Forest—and the entire crowd.
Fans expected a direct shot or a classic cross, but the duo performed a well-planned move that caught the Forest defence off guard. In a matter of seconds, Chelsea converted a basic set-piece into a clinical goal that extended their lead.
A Moment of Silence Before The Roar
When the ball reached the back of the net, there was a moment of stunned hush around the pitch. Nobody saw it coming—not the defenders, not the custodian, and especially not the supporters.
When the audience realised what had just transpired, their reaction was electrifying.
Neto and James: Perfect execution.
Pedro Neto started the unexpected movement. Reece James timed the delivery perfectly. Forest’s wall and keeper were absolutely taken off guard.
This moment could go down as one of Chelsea’s best set-piece plays of the season.
