Nottingham Forest have taken a huge stride towards Premier League safety after storming into a 2-0 lead away to Chelsea.
The Tricky Trees made a host of changes to the starting XI ahead of their Europa League semi-final second leg against Aston Villa on Thursday, with the likes of Morgan Gibbs-White, Elliot Anderson and Nikola Milenkovic all left on the bench.
But that did not stop the Midlands side from taking control early on, with Taiwo Awoniyi opening the scoring just two minutes into the contest.
A lovely floated ball in from Dilane Bakwa was met by the powerful striker, who guided his header past the stretching Robert Sanchez.
It was a wake-up call for the hosts, and Enzo Fernandez nearly equalised after a curling first-time effort from the Argentine struck the post.
Cole Palmer was also lively in the opening stages, but appeared frustrated at the lack of support around him.
Things got worse for the England international, who saw his side go two down with less than 20 minutes on the clock.
It was Awoniyi involved in the action again, who saw his shirt pulled back by Malo Gusto in the box, preventing him from contesting a header.
After a VAR review, Anthony Taylor awarded a penalty, and Igor Jesus stepped up and sent Sanchez the wrong way to double Forest’s lead.
Since conceding the second goal, Chelsea have improved, but are still failing to impose themselves in the final third.
They have a lot of work to do if they are to turn this one around and avoid losing six games in a row without losing for the first time in their history.
