English-born Ghanaian winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has reached an important career milestone after marking his 100th Premier League game on Saturday, May 11, 2024.

The England international of Ghanaian descent achieved this feat between Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.

Odoi lasted 86 minutes when Nottingham Forest locked horns with his former club, Chelsea at the ‘The City Ground’.

Unfortunately for Odoi, his 100th Premier League game ended in a 3-2 defeat on home turf.

Despite his outfit's defeat, the 23-year-old managed to find the back of the net against his former team.

“Mixed feelings in my 100th premier league game, we keep on pushing till the end, Love and appreciate the support from both sides” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Chelsea took the lead in the 7th minute, with Mykhailo Mudryk scoring a right-footed shot from the left side of the box.

Nottingham Forest, however, levelled the score in the 15th minute, with Willy-Arnaud Boly scoring a header from the centre of the box following a set-piece situation.

Hudson-Odoi then gave Nottingham Forest the lead in the 73rd minute, with a right-footed shot from the left side of the box.

However, Chelsea fought back and scored two goals in quick succession, with Raheem Sterling scoring in the 79th minute and Nicolas Jackson scoring a header from very close range in the 81st minute.

Hudson-Odoi has had a good season for Nottingham Forest, having made 28 appearances, scored 8 goals, and assisted once in the Premier League.
