Nottingham Forest gave its Premier League survival hopes a boost with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, whose troubles on the road continued.

Raheem Sterling put Chelsea ahead at Forest's City Ground in the 16th minute, before Serge Aurier drew the teams level with an acrobatic finish in the 63rd minute.

A mistimed header from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang late on was as close as Graham Potter's side got to a winner, but the visitors could not force a way through. They are now seven points behind Manchester United in fourth place.
