Callum Hudson-Odoi continues to prove his worth at Nottingham Forest after playing a pivotal role in their exhilarating 3-2 victory over Southampton at the City Ground on Sunday. The English-born Ghanaian winger netted a stunning goal, helping his side secure three crucial points in their quest for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

The Reds wasted no time asserting their dominance, with Elliot Anderson opening the scoring early in the game. Moments later, Hudson-Odoi doubled the lead with a spectacular strike, showcasing his class and confidence under Nuno Espírito Santo. Chris Wood extended the advantage just before halftime, capping a sensational first-half performance from Forest.

Southampton, however, showed resilience after the break. Polish defender Jan Bednarek clawed one back for the visitors on the hour mark. Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu added late drama with a goal deep into stoppage time, but it was too little, too late for the Saints.

Ghanaian forward Kamaldeen Sulemana featured for Southampton, coming on as a substitute in the second half and contributing 32 minutes of energy and effort.

Hudson-Odoi expressed his happiness after the win, taking to social media to say, “Plus three points. Happy for the win and hopefully nothing serious. See you soon.”

With three goals already this season, Hudson-Odoi is cementing himself as a vital player for Nottingham Forest as they continue their impressive campaign.
