Awoniyi's Goals Propel Nottingham Forest Past Chelsea 3-1

In a crucial Premier League match, Taiwo Awoniyi's brace led Nottingham Forest to a 3-1 victory over Chelsea, dimming the latter's hopes for European football next season. Awoniyi opened the scoring just two minutes into the match, heading in a cross from Dilan Bakwa.

He later won a penalty, which Igor Jesus converted to double Forest's lead in the 52nd minute. Awoniyi added his second goal after a VAR check confirmed he was onside.

Chelsea's Joao Pedro managed to score a consolation goal in stoppage time, but it was not enough to change the outcome. Chelsea's Cole Palmer missed a penalty in the first half, and the match marked a dismal afternoon for the Blues, who are now under interim head coach Calum McFarlane following Liam Rosenior's sacking.

Nottingham Forest's victory places them six points clear of the relegation zone with three matches remaining in the season.
