Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea LIVE!
Chelsea have been left to rue another difficult away day after being held to a dispiriting draw by struggling Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Graham Potter’s side had looked likely to pick up where they left off in the Premier League at the start of 2023 after Raheem Sterling’s early goal from close range that came after Willy Boly had somehow managed to turn Christian Pulisic’s left-wing centre onto his own crossbar.
However, the Blues were often overrun after the interval and former Tottenham full-back Serge Aurier sealed the point that Forest’s improved second-half efforts fully merited after maintaining his composure to lash in from a corner scramble at the front post. Such a result leaves Forest still in the bottom three but now 18th and level on points with West Ham, who are outside the drop zone on goal difference only.
Meanwhile, Chelsea stay below west London rivals Fulham in eighth and are seven points adrift of the top four ahead of a league and FA Cup double-header against Manchester City.
