Chelsea loses sixth straight Premier League game as Forest moves close to safety
- Nottingham Forest's Taiwo Awoniyi scored a brace to lead his side to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Igor Jesus added a penalty, helping the visitors move six points clear of the relegation zone.
- Vitor Pereira fielded a rotated lineup, prioritizing the Europa League semi-final second leg against Aston Villa on Thursday. Seven outfield players brought in had just 11 league starts between them this season.
- Matz Sels saved a first-half penalty from Cole Palmer to maintain Forest's lead. Malo Gusto fouled Awoniyi in the box, earning the visitors a spot-kick that Igor Jesus converted down the middle.
- A clash of heads between Zach Abbott and Jesse Derry forced both players off the pitch; Abbott walked unassisted in a concussion substitution while Derry required a stretcher. Robert Sanchez also left injured.
- Joao Pedro scored a stoppage-time goal, ending The Blues' five-game league scoreless drought that had stretched since March 4. The late finish offered little consolation as Chelsea appeared disjointed throughout the match.
