Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has given his verdict on Nottingham Forest’s draw with Chelsea.
The Reds took the lead at Stamford Bridge through Taiwo Awoniyi early on as he got on the end of Renan Lodi’s cross. A brace from Raheem Sterling put Steve Cooper ’s side on the backfoot in the second half but Chelsea’s lead lasted only four minutes before Awoniyi was on hand to convert Orel Magala’s inch-perfect cross, following a long throw.
It is a point that sees Forest stay three points above the bottom three, with Everton set to face Manchester City on Sunday and Leicester City hosting Liverpool on Monday night. There may still be a few twists and turns left in the relegation battle but Gary Linkeker feels Forest’s draw at Chelsea could prove to be pivotal in their bid for survival.
