English-born Ghanaian winger Callum Hudson-Odoi scored a goal in Nottingham Forest's 3-2 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday afternoon.

The winger started the game at the City Ground and played for 86 minutes.

The head-to-head record between the two teams before the game was in favor of Chelsea, with the Blues having won three times, while Nottingham Forest had only one victory and two draws.

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, leveled the score in the 15th minute, with Willy-Arnaud Boly scoring a header from the center 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.

Despite the defeat, Hudson-Odoi has had a good season for Nottingham Forest, having made 28 appearances, scored 8 goals, and provided one assist in the Premier League.
