Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Nottingham Forest 1-1 Chelsea: Serge Aurier’s second-half goal cancelled out Raheem Sterling’s opener
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.
Fresh from their first league win in six games last time out against Bournemouth, Chelsea started well in the Nottingham drizzle, with Raheem Sterling firing them into the lead in the 16th minute.
Forest improved after the break and were desperately unlucky not to equalise early in the second half as Morgan Gibbs-White’s drilled half-volley hit the underside of the crossbar but bounced on the goal line and away.
The hosts kept coming and deservedly levelled things up as Aurier fired home in the 63rd minute from a corner and looked the more likely to go on to win the match but it ended all square.

CHANCE! Mount lifts the resulting free-kick into the box for Havertz, but he cannot take the ball in stride in shoot. Koulibaly collects and tees up Pulisic to strike, only for the American to send a tame effort straight at Henderson.

WIDE! Pulisic offloads to Azpilicueta on the charge and he fires at goal on his right foot. Two Forest defenders converge and divert his effort wide of the target, but Chelsea still have a corner.

Gibbs-White makes a break at the Chelsea defence. He tries to get around Thiago Silva, but the veteran defender holds his ground and wins the ball with a fine challenge.
