Nottingham Forest won 2-1 against Manchester United, deepening the guest team's wounds and achieving consecutive victories for the first time this season in the Premier League on Saturday. Coach Erik Ten Hag's team currently stands in seventh place with 31 points after suffering 14 losses across all competitions this season. This was Forest's first victory over United in the Premier League since 1994. In their previous match, United came back from two goals down to win 3-2, but they failed to maintain that level, showing modest performance in defense and attack at times.
Nicolas Dominguez opened the scoring in the 64th minute with a shot from inside the penalty area. Marcus Rashford equalized in the 78th minute when Alejandro Garnacho capitalized on a weak shot from goalkeeper Matt Turner, providing a fantastic cross that Rashford headed into the net. However, United's celebrations were short-lived as Morgan Gibbs-White fired a shot into the net, capping off a counter-attack that started after Turner brilliantly saved a chance from United.
With this victory, Forest occupies 15th place with 20 points from 20 matches, five points clear of the relegation zone.
