Man Utd come from behind to beat Nottingham Forest

Erik Ten Hag's team faced considerable difficulties when hosting Nottingham Forest at home. It wasn't until the final minutes of the match that the Red Devils managed to take the lead and secure three points at Old Trafford.

Man Utd were without Mason Mount and Luke Shaw due to injury. Manager Erik Ten Hag had to field Eriksen and Diogo Dalot in the starting lineup. Considered the stronger team and playing at home, the Red Devils didn't hesitate to push forward in attack.

However, they conceded a goal on the counter-attack in the second minute. Awoniyi used his speed to get past Rashford before beating Onana in a one-on-one situation. Two minutes later, Nottingham doubled their lead with a header from Willy Boly. In both goals conceded, the Man Utd defense showed problems in their organization.

Having suffered two early setbacks, Manchester United naturally refused to accept even a draw. The Red Devils pushed forward, and a goal to reduce the deficit came quickly in the 17th minute. Rashford broke free on the left wing before crossing the ball to Eriksen, who tapped it in for the net.

Man Utd faced many difficulties against Nottingham Forest.

Ten minutes later, the home fans couldn't believe their eyes with Casemiro's missed opportunity. The ball was delivered from the right wing, but the Brazilian international nervously headed it wide of the post.

In the second half, the Red Devils equalized in the 51st minute. Bruno Fernandes made a clever run from a well-executed free-kick before assisting Casemiro to score.

In the following minutes, Man Utd created several chances from Antony's wing. However, the excellent performance of goalkeeper Matt Turner, as well as a lack of luck in their finishing, prevented the home team from scoring another goal.

The turning point came in the 67th minute when Bruno Fernandes had a one-on-one opportunity with Turner. Defender Worrall committed a foul from behind and received a red card. Ten minutes later, Rashford won the penalty, and captain Bruno Fernandes made no mistake, making it 3-2. This was also the final score of the match.

Man Utd have earned 6 points from their first three matches of the season. In the next round, they will face Arsenal, who drew 2-2 with Fulham in their other match played at the same time.
