Chelsea secured a victory at the City Ground, with Josh Acheampong's first senior goal sparking a second-half flurry. The Blues were outplayed in the first half but stunned Ange Postecoglou's struggling side with two quick goals after the break.
Acheampong's 49th-minute header opened the scoring, before Pedro Neto doubled the lead. Reece James added a third late on to make sure of the points and punish a Forest side that could have scored two or three goals themselves.
Chelsea ended the match with 10 men after Malo Gusto was sent off late on.
