Nottingham Forest have held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw in the late kick off on New Years Day in the Premier League.
Raheem Sterling’s opener for Chelsea was cancelled out by an unlikely source in the Nottingham camp as Serge Aurier equalised just after the hour mark
The Nigerian Super Eagles striker, Taiwo Awoniyi was at his best stamina in Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea in the Premier League game.
Awoniyi who is making his 15th appearance, has netted three goals this season. The Nigerian International was a nightmare for the Blues duo of Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly each time he forayed.
Though, Chelsea took the lead after 16 minutes when Willy Boly regrettably deflected Christian Pulisic’s cross over Dean Henderson and against the crossbar, with Raheem Sterling smashing home a half-volley from the rebound.
Still a deserved equal came in the 63rd from an unlikely source when Serge Aurier scored his first goal since January 2021.
Nottingham Forest had a game plan and they executed it perfectly.
Chelsea came into this game hoping to win their first back to back games since October, they leave feeling disappointed after more unnecessary points get away from them.
