OFF THE CROSSBAR! End-to-end action at the City Ground as Hudson-Odoi once again brings Nottingham Forest forward, beating Gusto before cutting inside ahead of the 18-yard box, pulling both Caicedo and Chalobah towards him. Cutting inside in trademark style, the winger still manages to dispatch a curling effort that seemingly beats the goalkeeper, but not the frame of the goal!
