EFL Carabao Cup: Man United Near Final After Beating Nottm Forest

Manchester United are half way through the semi-final after winning 3-0 against Nottingham Forest in the first-leg of the Last Four of the EFL Carabao Cup.

Forest played brilliantly but the sensational performance of Marcus Rashford saw United take the lead early into the game following an individual effort. 

United extended the lead just on the halftime break from Wout Weghorst finished off a rebound shot from Anthony and Bruno Fernandes completed the score sheet smashing a loose ball past goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey a minute before stoppage time.

Forest did have their moment when Sam Surridge finished off a fast break but that was ruled out by the virtual assistance referee for an offside position. On another occasion, Gustavo Scarpa's shot from the edge of the box put David De Gea to the test and his attempt was saved,

United will play the second leg against Forest at the Old Trafford on Feb 1 as they are vying for their first silverware since 2017.
