In an impressive turnaround, Manchester United overcame a two-goal deficit within just four minutes to secure a 3-2 victory against a 10-player Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford.
The game started with a surprise as goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly quickly put United on the back foot. Steve Cooper’s side appeared poised to secure their first Premier League away win since January.
However, United swiftly regained their footing. Christian Eriksen managed to narrow the gap with a goal, and in the second half, Forest’s hopes for victory faded.
Casemiro’s goal leveled the playing field, and the tide shifted decisively in United’s favor when Joe Worrall received a red card for a foul on Bruno Fernandes.
Capitalizing on the momentum, United’s captain seized the opportunity and scored the winning goal from the penalty spot after a foul on Marcus Rashford by Danilo. The victory marked a dramatic comeback for Erik ten Hag’s team.
