Potter admits Chelsea form needs consistency

Chelsea dropped more points in their quest to climb back up the Premier League standings as Serge Aurier earned Nottingham Forest a 1-1 draw with Graham Potter’s side.

Fresh from their first league win in six games last time out against Bournemouth, Chelsea started well in the Nottingham drizzle, with Raheem Sterling firing them into the lead in the 16th minute.

Forest improved after the break and were desperately unlucky not to equalise early in the second half as Morgan Gibbs-White’s drilled half-volley hit the underside of the crossbar but bounced on the goal line and away.

The hosts kept coming and deservedly levelled things up as Aurier fired home in the 63rd minute from a corner and looked the more likely to go on to win the match but it ended all square.

BLOCK AND OVER! A cross into the box from Gibbs-White causes havoc in the Chelsea box. Boly turns to offload back to Gibbs-White on the edge of the box, but his effort is charged down. Johnson curls a cross to the back post where Aurier slams his first-time strike over the bar.

OFF THE BAR! Yates sends a low ball to the edge of the box that Gibbs-White hammers towards goal on the half-volley. Kepa is rooted to the spot, but the ball smacks the underside of the bar and bounces to safety for the visitors.
