Until the completion of the first half, the score remained 1-0.

Chelsea improved after the half and were rewarded with an equalizer on 51 minutes.

Seven minutes later, Sterling handed Chelsea the lead for the first time.

At 62 minutes, Awoniyi equalized for Nottingham Forest with his second goal of the game.

Brennan Johnson came on in place of the striker with nine minutes remaining.
