Manchester United rally to beat Nottingham Forest after Old Trafford fightback

26.08.2023 - 18:59 thenationalnews.com

Manchester United staged a memorable fightback at Old Trafford to defeat Nottingham Forest 3-2 after conceding two goals in the first four minutes on Saturday.

United thus came from two goals down to win a Premier League game at Old Trafford for only the third time. Bruno Fernandes scored the winner from the penalty spot after Casemiro had equalised for United in a match that seemed all but lost after opening few minutes.

United's slow start to the season went from bad to worse as Nottingham Forest struck twice early. Taiwo Awoniyi burst clear from a United corner to score for the seventh consecutive league game after 90 seconds.

There were just three minutes and 45 seconds on the clock when Willy Boly then found the net from Morgan Gibbs-White's free-kick.
