Blues are back in the big time as they hold their nerve to see off Champions League rivals Forest

CHELSEA SWAGGER

THEY celebrated the £100million goal in the away end, on the touchline, and among the players.

And, for once, a club owner running onto the pitch at the City Ground is unlikely to end in a charge from the FA.

This was Chelsea's day after Levi Colwill's second-half winner settled it and got the Blues back into the Champions League.

Chelsea finished the season in fourth, could yet win a European trophy and Nottingham Forest will have to make do with the Europa Conference League.

No wonder Chelsea co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali - putting on a united front ran onto the pitch at the end as all of their investment and crazy spending is beginning to pay off.

The away end, decked out in blue scarves, could enjoy a happy ending to a day of nerves when Chelsea got the job done and got themselves back onto European football's top stage.
