One Chelsea player has admitted that he has been left frustrated after the latest Premier League game at Stamford Bridge this weekend.
Chelsea could only manage a draw at home to Nottingham Forest, a fixture that they would have ideally liked to have won.

This game could have actually gone either way in the end with a flurry of late chances for either side. Robert Sanchez pulled off a string of late saves to keep Chelsea in it. But really, Chelsea should have also scored before that and made the game dead and buried.
Forest frustrated Chelsea with a very compact setup making them tough to break down. But although that can be frustrating for the opposition, it is up to them to break it down and find a way through, which Chelsea didn’t do all too often.
Madueke is annoyed
‘Listen, Forest are a stubborn side and they defended very well,’ Madueke explained via the Chelsea website when analysing the 90 minutes.
‘Of course, we came into the game with the intention of taking all three points but we just couldn’t quite get it over the line and that’s frustrating.
‘Forest were defending for most of the game and they were hard to break down. It’s annoying we couldn’t get another goal but that’s football and we just need to regroup after the international break now.
‘Credit to Forest, they were resilient and they got bodies behind the ball. They plugged the gaps and made it difficult for us, so credit to them.
‘We still had chances to score another goal though and in the end it’s one of those games that just leaves you frustrated.’
Madueke was delighted to get on the scoresheet.
‘I’m pleased to score and it’s always nice to get a goal,’ added the winger. ‘I’ve missed a few chances in recent games so it was good to get back on the scoresheet.
‘We didn’t win the game though, which is the main thing, so I’m left a little disappointed overall. But of course, it’s nice to score and hopefully I can keep adding to my tally this season.
‘We’ve made a good start to the season but we are still conceding a few goals, which we know we need to tighten up on as a team.
‘It’s only a couple of months under the new manager and things are going well, we’ve put in some really good performances and we need to build on them going forward.’
