Chelsea 2-2 Nottingham Forest: Steve Cooper's side edge towards Premier League safety

Taiwo Awoniyi scored twice as Nottingham Forest claimed a valuable point against Chelsea in their fight against Premier League relegation in a match that came alive in the second half.

Forest took an early lead when Awoniyi, who scored twice in Monday's 4-3 win against Southampton, got in front of recalled Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to head in Renan Lodi's cross.

Raheem Sterling equalised after the break when he swept home Trevoh Chalobah's cutback then seven minutes later the England winger turned inside Felipe before curling the ball beyond Keylor Navas.

But Frank Lampard's side led for just four minutes as Awoniyi flicked home Orel Mangala's delicate lob into the six-yard box to secure an impressive draw at Stamford Bridge.
