A late goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi put a dent in City's bid to qualify for next season's Champions League  With just seven minutes remaining in an otherwise uneventful encounter, Hudson-Odoi sparked scenes of jubilation at the City Ground as he latched onto a superb Morgan Gibbs-White pass before beating Ederson at his near post. Author - Macca Pre match scenes at the City Ground The result delivered a major blow to Manchester City's hopes of securing a Champions League spot, as Pep Guardiola's side struggled to break down Nottingham Forest's resolute defence despite enjoying the better chances before half-time.
