The Reds won the day to go three points clear of Luton and five ahead of Burnley with just two games remaining of the campaign

South Yorkshire produced many of Forest’s best players, and now Crooks has selected one of his best players of the day
For a pitiful £3 million, the Reds were able to get Callum Hudson-Odoi, and wow, did it appear like good value.
He scored his seventh goal of the season on Saturday, and he will play his first game against Chelsea, his previous team, this coming weekend.
His efforts at Bramall Lane impressed Crooks so much that he was included in his Premier League Team of the Week
“It appears like the player has found his mojo again,” he said to BBC Sport. I watched it progressively leave him at Chelsea, and he came dangerously close to getting it back on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, but Hudson-Odoi’s time at Nottingham Forest turned out to be a pivotal moment in his career.
“There is no denying his brilliance, but there have been many complaints about his lack of perseverance and fighting spirit, particularly in difficult situations.
But his tenure at Forest has revealed a different side. Two of the most spectacular goals were scored by him against Sheffield United. The second was the best since the ball sat up, making it much harder to execute the stroke.
“Forests have had an awful season, mostly because
to their decrease in points, but both Hudson-Odoi and the team appear to have matured as players as a result of their hardship
