Callum Hudson-Odoi marked his Nottingham Forest debut with a splendid goal - and it led to a collective sigh from Chelsea fans.

The England international joined Forest on deadline day, bringing an end to stay at Stamford Bridge that initially promised so much.

And on his first appearance for his new club, Hudson-Odoi showed Chelsea, who have made a lacklustre start to the season, what they're missing as he scored a delightful curling shot from the left to level the scores against Burnley after Zeki Amdouni broke the deadlock.

Forest's delight at Hudson-Odoi is Chelsea's pain as Blues fans were left wondering how it all went wrong for him in west London.

"We should buy that Hudson-Odoi," one Chelsea fan joked.

"What a goal Hudson Odoi. Why couldn’t you do that in a Chelsea shirt?!" another added.

"So Hudson Odoi has scored before Mudryk. Who cursed us?" this fan said.

"Hudson ODOI is better than Mykhailo Mudryk [fire emojis]. What a goal, mannn!" another said.

"Hudson Odoi just scored a goal on debut for Nottingham Forest and we sold him for 5M. Top business, Chelsea board!" this fan added.

Hudson-Odoi's strike was enough to earn Forest a point, but Burnley will feel they were robbed of the three points.

They thought they'd retaken the lead near the end through Lyle Foster's goal but it was chalked off following a VAR check as assist provider Sander Berge was adjudged to have handled the ball in the build-up. Foster was then sent off in stoppage-time for an elbow on Adam Yates.
