Report and free match highlights as Manchester United rallied to win 3-2 at Old Trafford despite Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly putting Nottingham Forest on the winning path. As Joe Worrall was dismissed for Forest, goals from Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, and Bruno Fernandes turned the game around.
At Old Trafford, Manchester United overcame a 10-man Nottingham Forest team by scoring twice in the final four minutes to defeat Nottingham Forest 3-2.
After United was surprised by goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly, Steve Cooper’s team had a great chance to win on the road for the first time in the Premier League since January. However, Christian Eriksen scored to dash their dreams in the second half.
When Casemiro equalized and Joe Worrall was sent for fouling Bruno Fernandes, the momentum was unstoppable. After Danilo fouled Marcus Rashford, the United captain struck the game-winning penalties. A thrilling victory for Erik ten Hag’s group.
The head coach of United afterwards commented, “I am really pleased with the comeback. It is a horrific start giving them two goals and of course committing mistakes. “The team has a positive attitude and is active. They managed to prevail.
United is still in a slump after three games of the season, but they have won two of those games. Despite their contributions to this entertaining game, Forest was unable to accomplish that goal. They are still without a road victory.
How Man Utd turned it around
Manchester United’s fragility had been evident in both of their season’s first two games, where they won one and lost the other. However, if any of their supporters had any illusions that those problems had been resolved on the practice field, they were quickly disabused of them.
Awoniyi raced clear to score the opening goal, which was reminiscent of one Demba Ba scored under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Of all people, Marcus Rashford was the one after him as Andre Onana made a dismal retreat and fell before the striker could even fire.
