Chelsea owner Todd Boehly told clear reason to give Mauricio Pochettino his very own Harry Kane

Chelsea's 2-2 draw with relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest proved exactly why Mauricio Pochettino is faced with a difficult rebuild over the summer. With the quality of players on display at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, there is no excuse for the Blues' lack of clinical edge.

Frank Lampard's men enjoyed 76% of possession, managing 14 shots against Forest's 11. Yet despite their dominance on the ball, it was the visitors who boasted a higher xG, with their 1.30 trumping Chelsea's 1.17.

Raheem Sterling - who scored two goals in the second-half - missed two chances, Joao Felix another two, with a number of half chances coming elsewhere. Forest have, indeed, shored up their defence in recent weeks, but they had conceded 40 away games in the Premier League this season.
