A steady rain fell in Nailsworth, England on Sunday afternoon for the second leg of the League Two playoff semifinal between Forest Green Rovers and Newport County. The deluge began well before the opening kickoff and continued after the sky darkened and the floodlights illuminated the New Lawn Stadium.

Needing a win to be absolutely sure of being one of four Premier League Champions League qualifiers, Chelsea was garbage against Aston Villa on Sunday.
