On Saturday, The Athletic reported that former Man City and Italy coach Roberto Mancini has been contacted by Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Goals early in the second half by Josh Acheampong and Pedro Neto, and another by Reece James in the 84th minute, earned Chelsea a victory that prompted loud jeers inside the City Ground at fulltime and signaled the end for Postecoglou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Postecoglou had been in defiant mood in recent weeks, even delivering a five-minute monologue on Friday in which he rejected talk that he was a \u201cfailed manager\u201d and promised to win a trophy at Forest \u2014 just like he did at Tottenham last season before being fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Forest lost six and drew the other two of its eight games under Postecoglou. That included four losses from five in the league, scoring just one goal in the process, to leave Forest rooted in the bottom three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Malo Gusto became the fifth Chelsea player to be sent off this season after collecting a second yellow card in the 87th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haaland has 23 goals in 13 games for club and country this season, having just come off a hat trick for Norway against Israel in a World Cup qualifier last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The striker has said he is in the best form of his career and it seemed inevitable he would make no mistake when Nico O&#8217;Reilly teed up a cross from the left in the 58th. Haaland leapt high and buried his header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five minutes later, Haaland peeled away from his marker in the box and met a cut-back from Savinho with a shot that went through the legs of defender James Tarkowski and past the unsighted Jordan Pickford in goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s our key man, what can I say?\u201d City manager Pep Guardiola said. \u201cBut at the same time, we cannot rely and do good things just with Erling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo our wingers, attacking midfielders and our other players have to make a step up.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jack Grealish wasn&#8217;t able to play for Everton under the terms of his loan move from City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make that 37 goals Arsenal has scored from corners since the start of the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The league leader&#8217;s 58th-minute winner at Fulham came from a familiar source, as Bukayo Saka swung in the corner, Gabriel Magalhaes flicked it on and Leandro Trossard converted at the back post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a sixth win in eight games for Arsenal, which is seeking a first league championship since 2004 after being runner-up in the last three campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh off his debut for France, Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a hat trick \u2014 including an equalizer from the penalty spot in the seventh minute of stoppage time \u2014 in a breathless 3-3 draw against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Woltemade&#8217;s latest goal for Newcastle \u2014 a deft flick between his legs into the corner \u2014 proved to be in vain in a 2-1 loss at Brighton, which had a goal in each half from Danny Welbeck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Burnley beat Leeds 2-0 and Sunderland won at home to Wolverhampton 2-0. <a href=\"https:\/\/japantoday.com\/category\/sports\/postecoglou-under-more-pressure-after-forest-loses-3-0-at-home-to-chelsea-in-premier-league\">(JapanToday)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 20 minutes.
