Nottm Forest v Leicester
Nottingham Forest's Champions League hopes hit by draw with Leicester
Nottingham Forest's hopes of securing a Champions League spot took a massive hit when they were held to a 2-2 draw by relegated Leicester City on Sunday, as Nuno Espirito Santo's side fell to seventh in the Premier League standings.
Forest started the game slowly and Leicester went 1-0 up when Conor Coady reacted quickly to score from a rebound, but their lead lasted only nine minutes when Morgan Gibbs-White equalised with a towering header from a free kick.
Forest stepped on the gas after the restart and Chris Wood gave them the lead with his 20th league goal of the season when he connected with a header at the far post to make it 2-1.
But Jamie Vardy set up Facundo Buonanotte for a late equaliser and Forest could not find a winner, leaving the home side a point behind fifth-placed Chelsea. Leicester remain 19th, behind Ipswich Town on goal difference.
