'It is still in Forest's hands'
[Getty Images] Former Nottingham Forest striker Robert Earnshaw told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast that while fans will be disappointed to see their side dropping down the table, he believes Champions League qualification is still in their hands. "They are still sixth. There is only two points difference between [Forest and] Chelsea and Newcastle [in fifth and fourth, respectively]. "But when you have been in third for so long it is a little bit more disappointing when you see yourself start dropping and dropping. "Two weeks ago they were probably nailed on and now they are in sixth, so it is very difficult. "But I say it is in their hands because they have probably got the best fixtures out of the whole lot."

The two sides were locked at 1-1 going into the final 15 minutes, before Callum Hudson-Odoi put the hosts ahead. However, Chelsea countered with two goals in two minutes from Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson to claim all three points in a 3-2 win. Reds fans will be hoping history will not be repeated...
