Chris Wood scored for Forest, with Ally McCoist expressing his admiration for the Reds’ key player after the match. However, Noni Madueke quickly equalised for Chelsea, putting pressure on Forest.
Despite James Ward-Prowse being sent off, Forest stood their ground, with goalkeeper Matz Sels putting in a brilliant performance to keep the opposition at bay. Joe Hart credited Sels for earning Forest a point, although a late save by Robert Sanchez from Jota Silva nearly changed the outcome.
