Chelsea Slumps to Sixth Defeat

Chelsea's miserable run continued as Taiwo Awoniyi's brace helped Nottingham Forest secure a 3-1 victory, pushing the London club closer to missing European competition next season. Joao Pedro's late overhead kick proved to be only a consolation as Forest, six points above the relegation zone, secured crucial points with a heavily rotated lineup.

The defeat leaves Chelsea ninth in the Premier League, four points behind sixth-placed Bournemouth. Forest's win came despite fielding several substitutes, with Morgan Gibbs-White coming off the bench to set up Awoniyi for the third goal. Chelsea's Cole Palmer had a penalty saved in first-half stoppage time during a match that saw both Jesse Derry and Robert Sanchez substituted due to head injuries. biznow.biz
