Tottenham - Aston Villa 2:0

One point out of six possible since the return of the Premier League, ten consecutive games in all formats in which it wins first: these two figures describe perhaps most of all the disappointment from Tottenham, the 2022/23 version, which opened the new calendar year with a home loss that prevented them from advancing to the top 4.



Tottenham hoped that the return of Hugo Lloris and Christian Romero after the World Cup final will lead to defensive improvement, but for the seventh time in the league the Spurs conceded at least two goals.

On the other hand, the celebrating Unai Emery continued his clean record of losses against Tottenham in the four meetings against them in the Premier League.



After a weak half of the host in which she reached only one significant situation, the visitor from Birmingham punished.

Lloris poorly deflected Douglas Luiz's shot from distance, Ollie Watkins pounced on the rebound in the box and handed Emiliano Buendia his first Premier League goal of 2023.

The Brazilian Luiz finally succeeded in subduing Lloris, when in a joint operation with John McGinn in the 73rd minute he doubled and gave Emery a perfect gift for the New Year.

Nottingham Forest - Chelsea 1:1

The return from the break brightened the face of the Blues who defeated Bournemouth 0:2, but when it comes to the beginning of a calendar year, the story is completely different for Chelsea: this is the seventh year in a row in which they fail to win their first game in the league (two of which ended in a loss).

Apart from the lead goal scored by Raheem Sterling (16) and a weak ball by Christian Pulisic into the hands of goalkeeper Dean Henderson, Graham Potter's team clearly fell short of the newcomer who won 7:12 in threats to the goal, and 2:5 in shots on goal, but unfortunately had to settle for one point Only because Brennan Johnson missed two opportunities in a one-on-one against Coffee who started in place of the injured Edouard Mendy, and Morgan Gibbs-White was stopped by the crossbar.



Serge Aurea scored his first league goal since January 2021, when he found the back of the net in a Tottenham shirt against Sheffield United, and so Nottingham got the deserved equalizer in the second half (63).

Chelsea count four consecutive away losses in all formats, something that hasn't happened to them since the 2018/19 season under Maurizio Sarri, and in addition they have only one win in the last seven Premier League games.

Minute 10: Nottingham went on the offensive and Gibbs-White sent Johnson one-on-one with Coffee, who responded well and prevented the host's first.



16th minute: Goal, 0:1 to Chelsea!

Pulisic sent a cross at half height from the left wing, Habertz followed it up with a virtuoso heel that was stopped only by the crossbar, and before the Nottingham players came out of the shock - Sterling kicked the rebound in from close range.



Minute 42: Yates was unable to keep a ball away from the box that came from a stationary position and touches by Silva and Koulibaly set up a good position for Pulisic, but he kicked weakly into the hands of Henderson.
