Noni Madueke levelled after Chris Wood’s opener before James Ward-Prowse was sent off
Noni Madueke’s equaliser earned Chelsea a point as they came from behind in a 1-1 draw with 10-man Nottingham Forest at Stamford Bridge.
Despite a late push by the dominant hosts, Forest held firm to continue their fine start in the Premier League against another top-four opponent.
After a tepid first half, Chris Wood poked the visitors ahead in the 49th minute, but that lead did not last long as Madueke fired Chelsea level just seven minutes later.
James Ward-Prowse received his marching orders for a second yellow card on 78 minutes, though neither side could find a winner in the fiery encounter despite a spate of late chances.
Chelsea, on 14 points, hold onto fourth place going into the international break, while Forest sit four points below them in ninth.
