Jermaine Jenas and Ian Wright spot Nottingham Forest star who is 'back to his best'

Former Nottingham Forest players Jermaine Jenas and Ian Wright believe winger Callum Hudson-Odoi could be back to his best following the victory over Sheffield United.

Nuno Espirito Santo's team headed into the clash at Bramall Lane with the pressure firmly on after Luton Town's draw against Everton on Friday night. The Reds got off to the worst possible start too as former player Ben Brereton-Diaz opened the scoring from the penalty spot.

However, Forest managed to recover and were level thanks to Hudson-Odoi's impressive curling effort. Ryan Yates scored his first Premier League goal shortly after the restart to put the visitors ahead before the ex-Chelsea man added his second of the match 25 minutes from time to move his side three points above the drop zone.

Analysing the result on Match of the Day, both Jenas and Wright were in agreement on Hudson-Odoi. The former midfielder began: "The quality of Hudson-Odoi was just there to see.

"So much has been spoken about him. Technically his first was an incredible finish. A bit of top spin and the bend to put it in that top corner, it is a real quality finish.

"Every time he came down this left-hand side [he was a threat]. He was devastated after hitting the post and Morgan Gibbs-White was like: ‘Look, you will get another one,’ and Sheffield United didn’t learn their lessons and he wasn’t going to miss that.

"To see him back at his best in a Forest shirt. He had his injuries at Chelsea, his ruptured Achilles, even at Forest he got off to a slower start, but once he gets those starts everything comes from that."

"You are just hoping he can get a run and Forest stay up," Wright added. "If he can get a run, then he can show us what he is really capable of."
