The Comeback Begins
Christian Eriksen started the comeback for Manchester United in the 17th minute, tapping in Marcus Rashford’s cross. Despite United’s pressure, Forest still posed a significant threat.
Casemiro equalized from close range in the 52nd minute, and Forest were reduced to 10 men when Joe Worrall was red-carded for fouling Fernandes outside the area.
Fernandes Secures the Win
Ten minutes later, Rashford was brought down in the area by Danilo, resulting in a penalty. Fernandes stepped up and beat American keeper Matt Turner from the spot, sealing United’s second win of the season.
United’s Response
After being defeated by Tottenham Hotspur in the previous weekend and struggling against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their opening game, Manchester United found themselves in disarray early on against Forest. However, they responded with determination to secure a Premier League victory at Old Trafford from a two-goal deficit for only the third time. Despite the win, it was far from convincing against an enterprising Forest side who deserved more.
Key Moments
- Awoniyi scored Forest’s first goal after seizing upon a clearance and slotting past André Onana, becoming the first Forest player to score in seven successive Premier League appearances.
- Boly’s goal was a result of poor defending from United, as he was left unmarked to head the ball into the net.
- Eriksen’s goal kickstarted United’s recovery, with Rashford providing the assist.
- Forest had a chance to restore their two-goal lead, but Morgan Gibbs-White’s shot struck Awoniyi.
- United’s equalizer was well-worked, with Fernandes heading the ball across to Casemiro who made up for missing an earlier opportunity.
Forest had opportunities to grab a point in 13 nervous minutes of stoppage time, but Fernandes ultimately secured the win for Manchester United.
