Head coach Steve Cooper was left with “mixed feelings” after Nottingham Forest’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, thinking his team could have taken all three points.
A much better second half from the hosts saw them level shortly after the hour mark, through Serge Aurier. And a draw was the least they deserved by the end.
The Blues had taken the lead in strange circumstances with 16 minutes gone, when Willy Boly had inadvertently deflected a cross on to the bar, which then bounced into the path of Raheem Sterling. Having been doing well up until that point, it was a kick in the gut for the Reds, but they really upped the intensity after the break.
