Nicolas Jackson secures victory as Chelsea stage comeback to defeat Nottingham Forest

The match saw an early lead for Chelsea courtesy of a goal from Mykhaylo Mudryk, quickly nullified by Willy Boly's header from a free kick.

Forest's dominance was evident as Callum Hudson-Odoi, formerly of Chelsea, curled a splendid effort into the net, putting them ahead. However, Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson turned the tide with goals for Chelsea, the latter sealing the win with a header from Reece James's cross.

Chelsea's victory draws them level on points with sixth-placed Newcastle United, while Forest maintains a three-point lead over Luton Town with one match remaining.

Despite Chelsea's strong start, Forest's resilience was evident as they swiftly equalized through Boly's header. Chris Wood posed a threat to Chelsea's defense, but goalkeeper Matz Sels denied Nicolas Jackson's attempt, maintaining Forest's lead.
