Callum Hudson-Odoi scored twice to help Nottingham Forest edge closer to securing their spot in the Premier League next season after a 3-1 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
Although the visitors started strong, it was the Blades who broke the deadlock with a penalty from Ben Brereton Diaz in the 17th minute, following a foul by Gonzalo Montiel.
However, Forest quickly reacted, with Hudson-Odoi equalising just 10 minutes later with a superbly placed shot into the far corner.
In the second half, Nuno Espirito Santo's side took the lead through Ryan Yates in the 51st minute, capitalising on a set-up from Willy Boly.
Hudson-Odoi secured the win for Nottingham Forest midway through the second half with another impressive goal, cutting insice before firing into the bottom corner with power.
This victory was crucial for Forest, keeping them three points ahead of Luton and five points ahead of Burnley in the race for survival, with only two games remaining in the season.
