Nottingham Forest 2-3 Chelsea: Hosts are made to wait until the final day for survival to be confirmed... as Blues remain on track for Europe

Daily Mail  

Chelsea continued their late surge for European qualification with a frantic 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest, who missed the chance to confirm their Premier League survival in style. Nicolas Jackson scored the winner for Chelsea as their European hopes remained alive The forward jumped into the crowd to celebrate his winner and 17th goal of the season Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are all but safe though must wait until the final day for confirmation of their place in next year's Premier League Given their four-point deduction for breaking Premier League financial rules and resentment at the refereeing decisions they feel have gone against them this season, Forest will see survival as a defiant response to the Premier League. MATCH FACTS Nottingham Forest: Sels, Montiel, Boly, Murillo, Niakhate, Aina, Gibbs-White, Yates, Toffolo 72), Danilo, Hudson-Odoi, Wood Subs not used: Turner, Omobamidele, Kouyate, Sangare, Origi Goals: Boly 16, Hudson-Odoi 74 Booked: Niakhate Manager: Nuno Espirito Santo Chelsea: Petrovic, Chalobah, Silva, Badiashile, Cucurella, Caicedo, Gallagher, Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk, Jackson Subs not used: Bettinelli, Colwill, Disasi, Ugochukwu, Casedei Goals: Mudryk 8, Sterling 80, Jackson 82 Booked: Badisshile, Gallagher, Jackson Manager: Mauricio Pochettino Referee: Tony Harrington No one will be happier than Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, who has enjoyed quite a week, having being in Athens on Thursday night to see his other club Olympiacos beat Aston Villa in the Europa Conference League semi-final and reach a first ever European final. Luton will need to overturn a near-impossible 12-goal swing on the final day to stay up Jackson's strike came via an assist from captain Reece James, who returned after 153 days out Things seem to be coming together for Mauricio Pochettino and Chelsea, who are chasing European qualification Hudson-Odoi went one better in the 74th minute as he surged forward, cut inside and found the bottom corner with a curling effort.
