Chelsea legend John Terry sent Josh Acheampong a two word message after his performance against Nottingham Forest.

Despite a difficult first half the Blues ran out 3-0 winners to move into the top six in the Premier League and record their fourth win of the season.

Acheampong scored his first goal for the club, whilst Pedro Neto also scored, with Reece James finding the back of the net on his 200th Chelsea appearance.

Acheampong was named in the starting line-up after going off injured against Liverpool before the international break, and he partnered Trevoh Chalobah at the back.

The teenager dealt well with Taiwo Awoniyi, and despite struggling a bit in the first half he really grew into the game and put in another solid performance.

His performance deserved a goal, and he was in the right place to open the scoring by heading home Neto’s pinpoint cross.

Your first goal is always a big moment, and Acheampong who put up a post on Instagram after the game received many messages of congratulations.

One of those was from former Blues captain Terry who simply said:

“Congratulations mate.”

Enzo Maresca has mentioned on a number of occasions how he trusts Acheampong and it will be interesting to see if the youngster now gets a run of games.
