Nottingham Forest 1-0 Man City: Player ratings as Hudson-Odoi snatches victory in top four battle | OneFootball

Callum Hudson-Odoi produced the all-important winner for Nottingham Forest as they beat Manchester City 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.

The two top-four hopefuls couldn't be separated during a first half of little excitement, with Nico Gonzalez coming closest to breaking the deadlock following a venomous strike that thwacked the outside of the Forest post.

But Hudson-Odoi made the decisive contribution in the 83rd minute as he nestled an effort beyond Ederson. The Brazilian goalkeeper had produced a stunning save to deny the winger earlier in the half but should have done better at his near post.

The victory could prove pivotal in Forest's fight for Champions League qualification as they move five points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea. City remain fourth in the Premier League table and could be overtaken by the Blues this weekend.
