Callum Hudson-Odoi’s Late Heroics Stun Manchester City at the City Ground

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Manchester City | Premier League Thriller

In a night of high drama at the City Ground, Callum Hudson-Odoi delivered a moment of magic to hand Nottingham Forest a stunning 1-0 victory over reigning champions Manchester City.

The match began with both teams pushing for an early breakthrough. Erling Haaland came close, but his shot was deflected wide, while Nico González rattled the post with a long-range effort. The first half ended goalless, leaving the tension high.

Forest grew into the game in the second half, and in the 67th minute, Hudson-Odoi nearly broke the deadlock, only for Ederson and the post to deny him. But the English-Ghanaian winger was not to be denied. In the dying moments, Morgan Gibbs-White delivered a precise pass, and Hudson-Odoi cut inside before rifling a shot past Ederson at his near post, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.

The victory marks Nottingham Forest’s first league win over City since December 1997 and keeps Nuno Espírito Santo’s side in a strong position for a UEFA Champions League spot. Meanwhile, the defeat dents City’s hopes of finishing the season on a high.
