Nottingham Forest secured a crucial victory against a disappointing Chelsea side, significantly strengthening their fight for Premier League survival.
Nottingham Forest took a huge step towards Premier League survival with a commanding 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday, dealing a major blow to the Blues' hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. Taiwo Awoniyi marked his 100th appearance for Forest by scoring the early opener, and Igor Jesus doubled the lead shortly afterward from the penalty spot. Chelsea's miserable first half was compounded when Cole Palmer missed a penalty late in the period, denying the hosts a chance to pull one back. The result significantly boosts Forest's bid to avoid relegation while leaving Chelsea's top-four ambitions in serious jeopardy.
