Anything Callum Hudson-Odoi can do... Raheem Sterling makes it 2-2 with an almost identical goal. #NFFC | #CFC | #NFOCHE š„ @SkySportsPL https://t.co/pox9LgFqtR

That is vintage Callum Hudson-Odoi. He cuts inside onto his right and, unsurprisingly, curls one into the far corner against his former club. #NFFC | #CFC | #NFOCHE š„ @SkySportsPL https://t.co/7zKk1tQ5BA
GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL and Hudson-Odoi does what he does. Collects the ball on the left, cuts inside and curls a shot beyond the keeper and inside the post. What a lovely goal. When he gets defenders isolated, they just can't stop him #NFFC
2-1 Forest...Hudson-Odoi. Of course. #NFOCHE
Hudson-Odoi deflected effort off the bar. #NFOCHE

HT and Boly's header has #NFFC level against Chelsea, cancelling out Mudryk's opener. A game full of drama and intrigue on and off the pitch. The CG has been properly rocking again today. This place is special. 1-1.
That's half-time...1-1. #CFC pretty disappointing after taking an early lead. Passing far too slow and playing into Forest's hands. #NFOCHE
#CFC scored from using one of their widemen...for some reason they have spent most of the first half since then playing through the middle. Madueke and Mudryk are not getting enough of the ball. #NFOCHE
Murillo hits a pass with the outside of his boot for Hudson-Odoi, who sees his shot charged down. It falls for Wood who hits it first time, but not with a clean enough contact to trouble Petrovic #NFFC
#CFC not making the most of some good attacking positions...touch letting them down, giving Forest defenders a chance to get the ball back. Cucurella latest guilty party, Jackson has done it a few times now. #NFOCHE
After Yates sees a driven effort deflected for a corner, Danilo's delivery finds its way through to the far post, via a weak punch from Petrovic - and Wood heads over #NFFC
#CFC are having their moments but Forest have been the better side...winning the midfield battle. #NFOCHE
It's an equaliser for @NFFC! Morgan Gibbs-White clips a free-kick to the back post, Willy Boly pounces with a header that takes a slight deflection off Conor Gallagher, the hosts won't mind, though! š¤© #NFOCHE https://t.co/rACpzzu5Rp
Murillo just pinged an outstanding pass of his own, out to the left for Hudson-Odoi. Forest continued to push and it ends up with Yates firing over with a first time shot #NFFC
Could be 1-0 to Nottingham Forest already. Petrovic hesitates as a ball is played over the top...Wood gets there first and tries a lob, but can't get it over Petrovic. #NFOCHE
COME ON CHELSEA! š³ 0-0 š§ [1] #CFC | #NfoChe

Been a few loud cheers in and around the stadium already as Forest fans react to West Ham coming from behind to lead against Luton. #NFOCHE
