How Did Awoniyi Turn Chelsea’s Relegation Nightmare into a Shocking Triumph?
Chelsea missed the chance to pull a goal back before the break, with Cole Palmer missing a penalty of his own, and Forest made it 3-0 early in the second half when Awoniyi tapped in from Morgan Gibbs-White’s centre.
Gibbs-White was substituted off with a head injury shortly after, throwing his availability for Forest’s Europa League semi-final second leg on Thursday into doubt, while Joao Pedro saw a header disallowed for offside.
The Brazilian did eventually end Chelsea’s long goal drought, scoring a bicycle kick in stoppage time, though the Blues could not avoid a sixth consecutive Premier League defeat.
