Leon Osman has delivered praise to one Nottingham Forest player after yesterday’s 3-1 win over Sheffield United.
It didn’t all go according to plan for Forest in South Yorkshire.
Ben Brereton-Diaz fired the Blades into the lead from the penalty spot. As a result, Forest were forced to come from behind in the game.
The Reds did that with aplomb, with Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring twice.
Ryan Yates scored in the middle of Hudson-Odoi’s two strikes and it was a big three points for Nuno Espirito Santo in the end.
Osman was watching the game for BBC Sport and he was left very impressed with one of Forest’s goalscorers.
Leon Osman praises Nottingham Forest star Callum Hudson-Odoi
Well, it’s been a pretty decent season for the player who cost just £3 million from Chelsea in the summer.
The 23-year-old has been in fine form since Espirito Santo came to the club. Yesterday, he added to his tally yesterday with two brilliant goals.
After he scored his second goal at the City Ground yesterday, Osman praised Hudson-Odoi and he really caught his eye.
He told BBC Sport: “Again it is startling how open this game is and how entertaining it is.
“That should be a big opportunity for them and it comes from a brilliant tackle from Boly. Gibbs-White has so much space and it is a carbon copy of when Hudson-Odoi hit the post.
“He gets it just inside the upright and sends the Forest supporters crazy.”
Hudson-Odoi is testament to Forest recruitment
Forest have come in for some criticism for their recruitment in recent years – but Hudson-Odoi is a fine example of what meticulous planning can do.
When Forest sold Brennan Johnson many thought it would be a disaster but signing Hudson-Odoi for £3 million has meant that the youngster who went to Tottenham hasn’t been missed.
The player netted his sixth and seventh goals of the season yesterday and there is more to come from the youngster.
Hudson-Odoi has been a wonderful signing for Forest and hopefully, the team can stay up and build a team around the youngster next season.
