LONDON : Nottingham Forest coach Steve Cooper hailed his players for fighting their way back into Saturday's 2-2 Premier League draw at Chelsea to earn a crucial point, and said he hoped a new sense of confidence would keep them from relegation.
After snatching the lead with a Taiwo Awoniyi header in the 13th minute, Forest found themselves losing 2-1 after a quick second-half brace by Chelsea's Raheem Sterling. But they bounced back quickly when Awoniyi scored another header in the 62nd minute. Cooper said he would not worry immediately about the Arsenal game and would instead keep his side's training routine going as normal.
