In a thrilling match at Stamford Bridge, Nottingham Forest held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw, keeping their unbeaten record away from home intact. Forest took the lead in the contest, stunning the Blues into action. Noni Madueke quickly equalized for Chelsea, but Forest’s strong team performance earned them a well-deserved point.
Goalkeeper Matz Sels and the back four, including Nikola Milenkovic, were praised for their solid showing. Despite an injury to Morgan Gibbs-White, Forest’s Chris Wood stood out with another impressive performance, drawing praise from analyst Stephen Warnock.
At 33 years old, Wood continues to score goals and presents Forest with a contract dilemma. His current deal expires next summer, but his strong form under coach Nuno Espirito Santo has been instrumental in Forest’s success. With 16 goals in the top flight since Espirito Santo’s arrival, Wood’s contribution cannot be overlooked. The decision to extend his contract will be a significant one for Forest as they look to maintain their strong form.
