Callum Hudson-Odoi scores late winner as Nottingham Forest secure memorable victory against West Ham
The City Ground was the stage for an intense battle between Nottingham Forest and West Ham, with English-born Ghanaian winger Callum Hudson-Odoi emerging as the hero with a late goal to seal the deal.
Both teams had their fair share of chances in the match, with West Ham being lucky to escape an early deficit thanks to a remarkable save by Alphonse Areola. However, it was Nottingham Forest who took the lead just before halftime through Awoniyi’s clinical finish.
West Ham’s hopes suffered a setback when Kalvin Phillips was shown a red card in the 70th minute, reducing them to ten men. And as the game approached full-time, Hudson-Odoi stepped up with a composed finish from close range to put the result beyond doubt.
The former Chelsea winger’s decisive goal sealed Nottingham Forest’s victory in style, capping off an impressive performance by the 23-year-old who has been in good form this season, having scored four goals and provided one assist in the Premier League.
