Chelsea won their most important game of the season – securing a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground to book a place in the Champions League next season.

Many pundits predicted doom for Chelsea ahead of this game, but Chelsea did the job at the end of the day.

Reece James captained Chelsea to a massive victory, and he has now sent a message to those who doubted Chelsea.

“It is an amazing feeling,” Reece James told BBC after Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

“We knew coming here on the final day would be tough. They have had an amazing season – they have so much threat going forward.

“We had to dig in. We both needed to win, but I am so happy that the team got the job done today.

“We talk about being the best team-mate and everybody showed that today.

“So many people before the season, during the season had disbelief – they told us ‘we were you young, inexperienced and were not going to make it’. But we are here.

“The season has been long and tough. We started off so well, but then we had a dip. Going into another final and we have our eyes on the prize.”
