Chelsea drop more points in top-four pursuit after draw at Forest
NOTTINGHAM, England: Chelsea dropped more points in their quest to climb back up the Premier League standings as Serge Aurier earned Nottingham Forest a 1-1 draw with Graham Potter's side on Sunday (Jan 1).
Nottingham Forest boost survival hopes with Chelsea draw
Nottingham Forest gave their Premier League survival hopes a shot in the arm with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, whose troubles on the road continued. Forest had already beaten Liverpool and Tottenham at the City Ground this season and turned in another impressive performance against one of the big boys. After falling behind to Raheem Sterling's opener against the run of play, they put in a fine second-half display which was rewarded with Serge Aurier's equaliser just after the hour. On the balance of the game, Steve Cooper's men arguably deserved to win as Morgan Gibbs-White hit the crossbar, but this will give them great encouragement in their bid to beat the drop this season. Chelsea did at least stop a fourth away defeat in a row but they will require a vast improvement if they are to close the seven-point gap on the top four. Forest's impressive performance was soured, though, by alleged homophobic chanting from the Forest fans towards the travelling support. Having seen off Liverpool in October and Spurs in the Carabao Cup, there was early optimism for another scalp after the way they started as their pace troubled Chelsea.
