Nuno Tavares subtly poked fun at Chelsea Football Club following Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
In a stunning turn of events at Stamford Bridge, Nuno Tavares, the Portuguese defender currently on loan from Arsenal to Nottingham Forest, made quite the statement after his team’s 1-0 victory over Chelsea. Tavares, who entered the pitch in the 72nd minute, played a crucial role in securing his side’s triumph against the Blues.
Taking to social media platform Twitter, the 23-year-old defender succinctly summarized his feelings about the match, stating, “Debut ✅, Win ✅, Conquering the bridge ⚡️.”
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.
