Raheem Sterling’s snap-shot in the first half gave the Blues the lead but after failing to press home their advantage, Serge Aurier scored a stunning equaliser for the relegation-threatened Reds.
Chelsea took the lead after 16 minutes when Willy Boly unfortunately deflected Christian Pulisic’s cross over Dean Henderson and against the crossbar, with Raheem Sterling smashing home a half-volley from the rebound, EuroSport reports.
It looked likely to be a straight-forward victory for Chelsea but Forest came out with a vigour the visitors couldn’t match in the second half.
But the leveller eventually came from an unusual source when Serge Aurier latched onto Boly’s header from a corner and chested then volleyed under Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Both teams rise a position with the draw. Chelsea are up to eighth, while Forest are now third-bottom.
