This message couldn’t help but raise eyebrows, given the intense rivalry between Arsenal and Chelsea, making it a subtle but cheeky dig at the London club.

The highlight of the evening undoubtedly belonged to Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga, whose brilliant 48th-minute strike marked the first time in 28 years that the visiting team emerged victorious at Stamford Bridge. On the flip side, Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson missed a golden late opportunity to salvage a point, leaving the Blues and their supporters undoubtedly disappointed.
