Chelsea beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 in the Premier League in the early hours of Sunday (12).153 days after recovering from an injury, he returned to the exit. In the next 2 minutes, he handed out the winning assist and became the biggest hero. Chelsea are one step closer to reaching European competition after winning the wave. Although Forest couldn't get the points, 99% of their relegation rivals lost and could succeed in relegation.

Chelsea have been brave of late. Medillieu hosted the go-ahead record of Galpenma's brilliant pass on seven minutes as Forest were full of fighting spirit. Then Willy Pauli and Herschen O'Doul entered the wave and went over. Chelsea attacked frantically in the final period, starting in the 80th minute, and staged a reversal in 2 minutes. First, Staanen broke down the left and ironed in the far post, then into the substitutes' ranks in 82 minutes. In just 2 minutes, Nicolas Jaeson won the game.

After winning the Premier League for the third time in a row, Chelsea caught up with the same number of points as sixth-placed Newcastle (57) and have a good chance of qualifying for next season's European competition. After the Pucettenu game, the leader insisted he had no intention of resigning: "If the class is satisfied with my work, I will continue to coach. I'm always thinking about the long term, I have one year in my contract and I'll stay with the Roadrunners."

Forest (29 points) are fourth and although the numbers have a chance of dropping, the chances are slim with Luton (26 points) wanting Forest to lose as next season (24 points) is determined to win the title on Saturday night (11) and they also want to count Fulham, chasing a 12 goal difference.
