Nottingham Forest lost to Chelsea this evening as they failed to make their chances count.

The Reds lost 3-2 at the City Ground but defeat for Luton has practically confirmed their Premier League status.

Forest came from behind to take the lead through goals from Willy Boly and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

However, calamitious defending saw Chelsea turn the game on its head through Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson.

Forest will now hope to stay in the division with a point and barring a mathematical miracle they will.

Here is how we rated the players.

Matz Sels – 6

A steady performance from the Belgian who was powerless to prevent the Chelsea goal.

Gonzalo Montiel – 6

Let his man go for the goal but did alright as the right wing-back.

Willy Boly – 7

Doesn’t lose much at all in the air and he was collosal in this contest.

Murillo – 8

Made some wonderful last ditch tackles to thwart the threat of a lively Chelsea outfit.

Moussa Niakhate – 7

Always gives his all and that wasn’t ever going to be in doubt today.

Ola Aina – 7

The Nigerian was class against his former club and he is a seriously good signing.

Danilo – 6

The Brazilian was energetic but things didn’t quite go according to plan for him here.

Ryan Yates – 7

Gave every ounce of his being in this one and delivered a captain’s performance.

Morgan Gibbs-White – 7

Outstanding. What a display for the star man. He must be kept.

Callum Hudson-Odoi – 8

Utterly sensational. What a goal from the former Chelsea player and he’s a snip at £3m

Chris Wood – 4

A really poor performance that resulted in him missing a number of chances.

Substitutes

Anthony Elanga – 6

Harry Toffolo – 4

Ridiculously poor from the defender who let Reece James have the freedom of Nottingham.

Ibrahim Sangare – N/A

Nicolas Dominguez – N/A

Taiwo Awoniyi – N/A
