There was a sending off, a mass bout of fisticuffs, a late unmissable header and two chances for goal machine Cole Palmer. But not even Chelsea on a five-match winning streak could break Nottingham Forest’s unbeaten record on their travels this season.
Two brilliant saves at either end in the 13 minutes of injury time probably rightly ensured this high-octane Premier League encounter ended with spoils but even then Robert Sanchez was stretched to full limit to keep out substitute Jota Silva’s downward header as the clock ticked over into the 104th minute.
