The winger picked up a glorious diagonal pass from Morgan Gibbs-White before running into the box and beating City goalkeeper Ederson at his near post from a tight angle in the 83rd minute.
In a game of few chances, Pep Guardiola’s City team came closest when Nico Gonzalez’s long-range shot scraped the outside of the post, while Hudson-Odoi saw a curled effort pushed onto the post by Ederson.
The result kept this season’s surprise team Forest third on 51 points, with City in fourth place on 47. (Reuters)
