Premier League: Nott. Forest Beat Man. United To Move Clear Relegation Zone
Nottingham Forest earned a well-deserved 2-1 victory against Manchester United for their first victory against the side in 31 years.
Nicolas Dominguez ended the deadlock after the interval, whipping Gonzalo Montiel's assist through to beat Andre Onana. United pulled one back as Marcus Rashford curled home on first touch Alejandro Garnacho's through pass from the edge of the box.
Forest later settled the game with winner as Morgan Gibb-White steered into the goal Anthony Elanga's pass. The maximum points gained from the victory moved the side to the 15th position with five points clear of the relegation zone.
United have remained winless in six of the last seven Premier League games and Rashford's goal was his first since the side's 3-0 defeat of Everton.
Quick Overview
Forest out-played and out performed-United and their victory is just well-deserved as they lived up to keeping the lead through after Rashford gave United the needed goal for for a comeback.
United had struggled to make any meaningful impact on the game from first half and gradually did after conceding from Dominguez's strike. Rashford's finish was just delightful enough to keep the side fired up, though it came off a set piece from Turner's poor clearance.
Matt Turner was also instrumental to keeping the lead for forcing a brilliant save of Bruno Fernandes' volley that deflected off Murillo to head for the goal.
