Forest boss Nuno happy with goalscorer Hudson-Odoi: But he can do more

Nottingham Forest star Callum Hudson-Odoi has been challenged to build on his goal against Bournemouth.

The City Ground club battled for a point away from home, which aids their survival cause.

Hudson-Odoi, who equalised for Forest, was praised by head coach Nuno Espirito Santo post-game.

“It was a beautiful goal. He did well," Nuno said of Hudson-Odoi.

“Callum is improving game by game. We know how talented he is - he has shown that before. These are the standards he has to keep up. It was a tough game. A very difficult game.

“We know how strong Bournemouth are. We started the game badly and allowed them to really press us. They had six or seven corners, which is a lot. We conceded from one of them.

“But we reacted well. We started controlling the game and being more dominant, having more actions. I think it was well deserved that we were drawing at half-time.

“Second half, both teams didn't play well. It wasn't a beautiful game. It was very physical and intense. I felt we could have done better, especially with the final pass.

“It was a tough game. The results are a consequence of the performance. Now we have to focus on how we want to perform, then things will eventually come.

“In the last moments, I think we should have done better. But there were not too many good decisions. We didn't really threaten Bournemouth in the final moments of the game."
