Nottingham Forest claimed a big 3-2 victory in an entertaining game away to Manchester United on Saturday evening.
Making their second trip to Manchester in the space of a few days, the Reds were looking for a different outcome after Wednesday night’s 3-0 defeat at reigning champions City. And they got off to the perfect start, taking the lead with less than two minutes on the clock courtesy of a bullet header from Nikola Milenkovic.
No sooner had they gone in front, however, Forest were on the back foot for a long spell. With Nuno Espirito Santo’s side under pressure, it looked like an equaliser was coming and it duly arrived in the 18th minute. Matz Sels thwarted Alejandro Garnacho but Rasmus Hojlund was well placed to slot in the rebound.
