NOTTINGHAM, England (Reuters) -Nottingham Forest's hopes of securing a Champions League spot took a huge 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.

The result leaves Forest a point behind fifth-placed Chelsea with two games left and although they secured European football for the first time in 30 years, the draw felt like a defeat with their Champions League ambitions no longer in their own hands.
