    Nottingham Forest 0 Chelsea 1: Blues star who got Tricky Trees promoted ruins their Champions League dream

    LEVI COLWILL netted a rare and lucrative goal which propelled Chelsea’s billion-pound boys’ club into the Champions League after a two-year absence. And for Nottingham Forest, it was a case of what Colwill giveth, Colwill taketh away. Chelsea secured Champions League football with a narrow win over Nottingham ForestCredit: GettyA 50th-minute goal from Levi Colwill secured the west Londoners a 1-0 win at the City GroundCredit: GettyEnzo Maresca’s troops will dine at the top table of European football next seasonCredit: PAIt was the Chelsea defender’s own goal, while on loan at Huddersfield Town, which earned Forest promotion to the top flight in the Championship Play-Off Final of 2022. But early in the second half, the England man scored only the fifth goal of his career to settle this final-day shoot-out for a place at European football’s top table. And Chelsea now head to Poland for Wednesday’s Europa Conference League Final against Real Betis, knowing they are assured of a place back in the elite. This result ensured that Enzo Maresca will survive as head coach at Stamford Bridge and will allow Todd Boehly & Co to argue that their policy of bulk-buying young players on long contracts is beginning to bear fruit. READ MORE ON CHELSEAAfter a tense match of few chances, Nuno Espirito Santo’s men ended up in seventh place, which earns them a place in the Conference League next term. This season had promised far more from Forest, who were up in the top three of the Premier League for the majority of the campaign. But they have taken just one point from their final four home matches, which ultimately killed off their ambitions of playing in a higher echelon of European competition. For Chelsea, this was only a second Premier League away game since December.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSThey were playing without a recognised centre-forward in their starting line-up – Pedro Neto operating as a ‘false nine’ in the absence of the suspended Nicolas Jackson.While Forest had looked nailed-on for the Champions League for much of the season, a return to European football had already been secured after a 30-year hiatus.Taiwo Awoniyi seen for first time since horror injury as he receives hero’s welcome at Nottingham Forest vs ChelseaAnd a banner reading ‘Destination: Europe’ was unfurled on the Trent End. Before kick-off, Gary Neville – banned from the City Ground for criticising Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis – was being widely accused of indulging in one-in-a-bed romps. But on the pitch, it was deathly dull early on – neither side bearing any attacking teeth, with Forest wasteful from set-pieces. It took almost half an hour for a serious scoring opportunity to arise – Noni Madueke feeding Cole Palmer down the right and the England man centring for Neto to volley over.Almost immediately, Elliott Anderson responded for Forest with a dipping long-ranger which fell wide of the far post. Largely, though, it was anxious and fractious stop-start stuff – Chelsea’s players doing an awful lot of falling over, with ref Anthony Taylor rarely responsive. There were penalty shouts from the Forest fans when Anthony Elanga went down after a tangle with Palmer, but Taylor and his VAR were not interested. Levi Colwill scored an own goal in the 2021/22 play-off final against Nottingham ForestCredit: PAJust before half-time, Ola Aina swung in a cross from the right, Chris Wood arrived before keeper Robert Sanchez, but the Kiwi striker volleyed over. At the start of the second half, Chelsea were showing more intent, and within four minutes of the restart, they were ahead. A corner was partially cleared, but a Marc Cucurella ball over the top caught Forest flat-footed and Neto rolled across goal for Colwill to tap in at the back stick and celebrate in front of the travelling Blues fans. Soon, Madueke’s shot was scooped clear by Matz Sels as Chelsea went in for a quick kill. Nuno sent on former Chelsea man Callum Hudson-Odoi and then Ryan Yates, after Nicolas Dominguez was forced to hobble after a heavy challenge from Madueke. Read More on The SunBut Forest struggled to turn a spell of territorial advantage into goalscoring opportunities, although Wood had a close-range effort deflected over in injury time.And Chelsea were able to secure qualification for the Champions League in a relatively comfortable fashion.  More

    Man Utd 2 Aston Villa 0: Amad scores after controversial disallowed goal to ruin Villans’ Champions League hopes

    MANCHESTER UNITED’S season of mayhem and madness ended in a crazy flurry of red cards and red mist – as Aston Villa missed out on the Champions League in hugely controversial fashion.First Villa keeper Emi Martinez got his marching orders for a jaw-dropping body check on Rasmus Hojlund after racing from his area.Morgan Rogers had a goal controversially ruled out by the refereeCredit: ReutersVilla’s protests were in vain as the whistle had already goneCredit: ReutersAmad Diallo opened the scoring with a header moments laterCredit: PAAnd then just when Villa thought they had snatched a goal to put them in touching distance of a Champions League slot, Morgan Rogers saw his would-be winner dramatically KO’d.Rogers pounced to spin and shoot into an unguarded net from an angle, after Altay Bayindir appeared to let the ball slip from his grasp as he went to smother Harry Maguire’s wayward header.But referee Thomas Bramall had blown for a foul – kicking the ball from his hands – before the Villa striker turned to finish the chance.And even though replays suggested it could easily have been an incorrect call, the fact he had whistled before Rogers’ shot meant VAR Stuart Attwell could not get involved.READ MORE ON MAN UTDEven then a point may have been enough for Villa, who had sneaked into fifth place courtesy of Everton going ahead at Newcastle.But 15 minutes from the end, Bruno Fernandes floated a cross to the far post that cried out to be finished – and Amad Diallo’s header made sure it was.To be fair, it was a lead United had merited in a game they had dominated long, long before they had a man advantage.Casemiro, Diogo Dalot, Fernandes and Amad had all gone close to putting them ahead… and that was before we even got to half-time.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSBy the time we did, Villa were down to ten, thanks to that crazy Martinez moment, caused by Matty Cash’s woefully short backpass.As Hojlund hared on to the loose ball, the Villa keeper darted from his goal and smashed into his red-shirted opponent.FIRE SALE at Old Trafford! EVERY Man Utd Star Up for Grabs — Even Mainoo & Garnacho!Referee Bramall was pointing the way to the dressing room almost before he arrived on the scene. Amazingly, Martinez stood with arms outstretched, protesting his innocence.Clearly, with the plea that Hojlund was heading away from goal… and he certainly was by the time the South American had finished with him.Of course, it wouldn’t have been United if they still hadn’t made heavy weather of it even then, as if intent on finishing their chaotic campaign with another cock-up.But then, five minutes from time, Ian Maatsen clipped Amad’s heels on the right edge of the box and Christian Eriksen – in his final game for United – buried the penalty.Villa chief Unai Emery applauded sarcastically at what he felt was another shocking call against his side.But he would be better served focusing on the shocking one his keeper made.Emi Martinez was sent off just before half-time for clattering Rasmus HojlundCredit: GettyIt could be the goalkeeper’s final appearance for Aston VillaCredit: GettyHojlund had a goal chalked out for offsideCredit: GettyAmad marked his goal with a muted celebrationCredit: ReutersChristian Eriksen fired home his penalty in the late stages of his final United gameCredit: PABayindir lost control of the ball before having his pocket pickedCredit: PAUnai Emery made his feelings clear as the referee left the fieldCredit: AFPRuben Amorim addressed the crowd with a speechCredit: AFP More

    Aston Villa RAGING after being denied crucial goal vs Man Utd due to VAR protocol and miss out on Champions League

    ASTON VILLA are FUMING after missing out on Champions League qualification after they had a goal wrongly disallowed and VAR could not intervene.With their game at Old Trafford goalless, Manchester United keeper Altay Bayindir appeared to get away with a huge error.Aston Villa were denied a goal in controversial circumstancesMorgan Rogers appeared to nick the ball off Altay BayindirCredit: PABut the referee had blown his whistle for a foulCredit: PAThe goal was disallowed and VAR could not interveneCredit: PAMorgan Rogers chased down Harry Maguire’s header back and he nicked the ball out of the Bayindir’s grasp.The Villa man then rolled the ball into an empty net in what looked to be a crucial goal for Villa’s European dreams.But referee Thomas Bramall had blown for a foul by Rogers on Bayindir.Replays showed the United stopper never had full control of the ball and the goal should therefore have stood.But due to the official having already blown his whistle for a free-kick, VAR were unable to overturn the decision.And just minutes later, Amad Diallo scored to make it 1-0 to United before Christian Eriksen doubled their lead.It meant Villa missed out on Champions League qualification as they failed to better Newcastle’s result, who lost to Everton by a goal.Before the controversial refereeing incident, Villa were on course to finish in the top five ahead of the Toon.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSBut defeat meant they finished on 66 points in sixth place, missing out to Newcastle on goal difference.Villa have instead had to settle for a place in next season’s Europa League.McGinn ragingAston Villa captain John McGinn was raging after the game.He said: “I think everyone wanted the correct decisions when the VAR was implemented. You watch rugby, even if the referee has awarded a try and it’s wrong, its overturned. “It’s so so hard to take especially when the impact it has on us, as a club and a team, is so big. “Its’ really, really tough to take and handle. I don’t think we deserved to win but if you were 1-0 up at that point and all you need is a point to get to the Champions League, it’s costly.”Moving forward, the rule has to be looked at as the correct decisions were not getting made at the end of the day. I think [referee] Thomas [Bramall] knew. It probably wasn’t fair on him at that moment either. The boys are gutted.”Asked if the ref acknowledged his mistake, he said: “He didn’t really know what to say. “Because of the impact it has on us as players and our careers, the club, you are obviously angry. I think he is a young referee who has progressed very quickly. “Maybe we could look at having more experienced referees. I don’t know. It’s just an incredible decision and makes today even worse than it should be.”Manage Unai Emery added: “It was a mistake. A big mistake.”The match we played overall in 90 minutes with the red card and this goal disallowed, it was a key moment. but overall, they did more. Read More on The Sun”But we showed resilience with one player less. We could have scored one goal and it would have been a good opportunity to continue and keep the result. We didn’t perform enough today to get a good result but we could get it, in case some decision weren’t like it was.”Emery revealed he spoke with the referee after the game: “Yes, I told him but he knows it [he made a mistake].” More
