Postmatch editorial
Nottingham Forest upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Chelsea 1-3 Nottingham Forest. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Taiwo Awoniyi put the first mark on the match 2', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Chelsea led Total shots 21-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Chelsea also shaded Corners 10-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Chelsea the favourite at 70.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
