Nottingham Forest scored an important 3-1 victory against Sheffield United, with crucial contributions from Callum Hudson-Odoi who netted two exceptional goals. This victory is a significant step in Nottingham Forest’s fight for Premier League survival. It marked a disastrous performance for Sheffield United, who became the first team in the league to concede 100 goals in one 38-game season. After an initial lead with a penalty goal by Ben Brereton Diaz, Sheffield United fell behind with two goals by Hudson-Odoi and a disputed goal by Ryan Yates. This win moves Forest three points ahead of 18th-placed Luton with two remaining games. In another fixture, a brutal 4-1 defeat by Newcastle United pushed Burnley closer to relegation. Despite Burnley starting strong, Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff, and Bruno Guimaraes netted goals for Newcastle, ending the match before half-time. In other news, the match between Brentford and Fulham ended in a 0-0 draw.
Ivan Toney, the English forward, hasn’t managed to net a goal in his last ten games, resulting in a goalless draw when Brentford took on local rivals Fulham. After his goal against Belgium back in March, Toney is experiencing his longest dry spell since his tenure with Peterborough in 2019. He hasn’t scored for Brentford since mid-February. This inconsequential derby saw two teams secure from relegation, and far from European league placement. Toney, who had no genuine goal opportunity, could only look on as Fulham’s Raul Jimenez wasted their best chance by shooting over the bar.
