Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper expected Callum Hudson-Odoi to have a big impact as his \u201cmoment of brilliance\u201d earned a 1-1 draw with Burnley.<\/p>\n
Hudson-Odoi reminded the Premier League what he is capable of with a fine debut goal, bringing his side level with a brilliant curling effort in the second half after Zeki Amdouni had put the Clarets ahead.<\/p>\n
It is 18 months since the 22-year-old last played in England\u2019s top flight as his promising Chelsea career petered out, but, after a year on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, he was back with a bang.<\/p>\n
He was Forest\u2019s brightest spark following his deadline-day move from Stamford Bridge and got his reward.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny new player will want to hit the ground running and show what they can do,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cWe got Anthony (Elanga) and Callum in really good positions and we could have done more with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he has quality and he can have moments of brilliance. We need that at times in the Premier League and we got one tonight. It is great for him, great for us obviously.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe hasn\u2019t played much football, he has trained well, but I backed him to do well tonight. He ran out of legs, I didn\u2019t think we\u2019d get that long out of him. We have got to push him to do more of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou see goals like that in the Premier League, there is so much quality. It is a brilliant goal. We have had a few of those scored against us but we haven\u2019t had too many of them for us. Beautiful strike, beautiful technique, great for him, great for the team. He will feel good about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The point for Burnley enabled them to get their campaign up and running after three successive defeats, but they might be disappointed they did not leave with all three after they were denied a late winner by VAR as Sander Berge was ruled to have handled the ball.<\/p>\n

They then ended the game with 10 men after Lyle Foster elbowed Ryan Yates deep into added time, with VAR also intervening.<\/p>\n
Clarets boss Vincent Kompany was pragmatic in his response.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a decent business brain and a decent coaching brain, but when it comes to the laws and legalities I switch off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cA handball this way and handball that way, people come in and explain to us all of the time, but I have come to a decision to trust they know what they are doing and that they have the right intentions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not something I want to discuss too much because I can\u2019t change it now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Having played Manchester City, Aston Villa and Tottenham in their opening three games, Kompany is seeing an improvement.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to fight for every point in this league, but there is a range of teams that we can compete with at the moment from what I have observed,\u201d the Belgian added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought today was at least even and depending what side of the fence you sit on you probably think you deserved three points.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, if we stay in these games, our team has got so much progress still to go and that is the exciting things for us. In these types of games we are there, but in the future there is room for much further improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n
