Premier League round-up
Chelsea suffer embarrassing loss against Forest
Chelsea hit a new low as Nottingham Forest claimed a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge, handing them a sixth straight Premier League defeat.
Forest’s rotated side stunned the hosts early, with Taiwo Awoniyi scoring twice, including inside two minutes and Igor Jesus adding a penalty to lift them six points clear of danger.
Chelsea finally ended their long scoring drought when Joao Pedro netted a stoppage-time overhead kick, their first league goal since March 4.

Man City titles hopes dented by Everton
Manchester City suffered a blow in the title race after a dramatic 3-3 draw with Everton.
Jérémy Doku scored a late equaliser to rescue a point, but City had led before collapsing, conceding three quick goals, two to Everton’s Thierno Barry, including one from a mistake by Marc Guehi.
Erling Haaland sparked the comeback before Doku’s final strike denied David Moyes a first win over Pep Guardiola.
City now sit five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand.
