In a thrilling encounter at Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon, English-born Ghanaian winger Callum Hudson-Odoi scored twice to help Nottingham Forest secure a 3-1 victory over Sheffield United.

The win added to Nottingham Forest's tally in the head-to-head record, which now stands at Sheffield United 3 win(s), Nottingham Forest 5 win(s), and 5 draw(s).

Hudson-Odoi played the full 90 minutes and made a significant impact on the game, despite Sheffield United dominating possession and taking more shots. The match started with a penalty awarded to Sheffield United after a lackadaisical challenge from Gonzalo Montiel in the box. The Chilean international stepped up and converted the spot-kick in the 17th minute.

However, Nottingham Forest quickly regrouped and equalized in the 27th minute. Danilo played a crucial role in setting up Hudson-Odoi, who expertly finished the move to level the score at 1-1. The visitors continued to press in the second half, with captain Ryan Yates volleying home a cross from Anthony Elanga in the 51st minute to give Forest the lead.

Hudson-Odoi added a third goal in the 65th minute, skillfully dancing across the box before finding the bottom corner to secure the win for Nottingham Forest.

The winger has been a valuable asset to the team this season, having played 27 games, scored seven goals, and provided one assist in the league.
