Late goals from Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson lifted Chelsea to a 3-2 Premier League victory at Nottingham Forest on Saturday that left the hosts mathematically still in danger of relegation.
Mykhailo Mudryk also scored for Mauricio Pochettino's team, which is seventh in the standings with two games remaining. Forest are in 17th place and are three points behind 18th-placed Luton Town, but with a much superior goal difference that should ensure their survival in the Premier League. Both Forest and Luton have one game left.

Chelsea got on the scoreboard in the sixth minute when Cole Palmer sent a through ball to Mudryk, who fired into the far bottom corner.
Goals from Willy Boly in the 16th minute and Callum Hudson-Odoi in the 74th created a carnival atmosphere at the City Ground.
But Sterling scored the equalizer in the 80th minute and then Jackson silenced the Forest crowd two minutes later when he headed in a cross from captain Reece James.
