A lot of Hudson-Odoi's goals seem to be the result of goalkeeping errors. Is this by luck? I don't think so.

If you look closely, CHO takes his shots earlier than most GKs expect, meaning most attempts to save will be a second or two late. That is the key here. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/1328784609719570436

As a related example, I remember saying goalkeepers having "weak wrists" was more down to the timing of their dives rather than anything to do with their wrists in itself.

Similarly, because CHO takes early shots, GKs seem to "fumble". In truth, they've just reacted late.

This is a very rare trait, by the way. CHO gets his shots off with minimal back-lift, no time delay and still manages to get them on target most times. Shots like those are hard to save, especially from close range.

GKs have two options dealing with CHO:

1. Move early but make themselves vulnerable to deflections. If CHO delays his shot, it's game over too.

2. Wait for the shot and rely on their reflexes. This means they might "fumble" shots.

There's no ideal option here. Both are bad.

This is nothing new and has been evident in his game for a long while.

Hudson-Odoi's very first goal for Chelsea involved the same traits – Short back-lift, a quickly taken shot on target and a GK who was too slow to react.

Some people seem to be attributing this to luck and bad keeping.

Both might be true but CHO's technique plays a part too. If it happens once, it's luck. If it keeps happening over and over again, there's something deeper. If CHO is "lucky", it's because he creates his own luck.
