“One of those moments – Chelsea star slammed for moment of madness against Nottingham Forest | OneFootball

Former Premier League footballer Leon Osman has torn into Malo Gusto after Chelsea’s win against Nottingham Forest.

The Blues ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the end, despite a very disappointing first half performance in which they really struggled.

Josh Acheampong, Pedro Neto and Reece James were the goal scorers as Chelsea moved up to sixth in the table.

Leon Osman slams Malo Gusto

However, it wasn’t all positive for Chelsea, with Gusto who once against started in midfield getting sent off in the 87th minute for a second booking after a foul on Neco Williams.

It now means Chelsea have had a player sent off in four of their last six games in all competitions, which is completely ridiculous.

Whilst the red card didn’t change the result like it did against Manchester United and Brighton it once again highlighted Chelsea’s discipline problem.

There was simply no need for Gusto to do what he did, and Osman slammed the France international whilst commentating on BBC Radio 5 Live.

“It’s one of those moments where you are on top in the game, things are going well, you are feeling great, all the chances and tackles are going your way,” he said.

“In hindsight it is the stupidest tackle in the world to make.”

Enzo Maresca not concerned by red card

Enzo Maresca, who had watch the game from the stands after himself getting sent off in the win against Liverpool admitted after the game he wasn’t concerned.

“But I am not concerned. There are some of you who ask why I am not concerned,” he told his post match press conference.
