Levi Colwill’s second-half header sealed a vital 1-0 win for Chelsea over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, securing their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
In a tense encounter, Colwill rose highest to meet a corner and nod home the winner shortly after the break. The goal was enough to hand Chelsea all three points and guarantee their top-four finish, completing a remarkable turnaround under Mauricio Pochettino.
Forest, on the other hand, had golden chances to draw level, with Chris Wood spurning two clear-cut opportunities that could have altered the outcome. Despite their loss, Forest will compete in the UEFA Conference League next season, marking their return to European competition after a long absence.
Chelsea’s win marks a significant step forward in their rebuild, while Forest can take pride in a campaign that sees them secure a spot on the continental stage.
