Forest grab dramatic victory over Man Utd to pile pressure on Ten Hag
Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United for the first time in 29 years following a 2-1 victory over Erik ten Hag’s side at the City ground on Saturday.
After a goalless first half, Nicolas Dominguez combined with compatriot Gonzalo Montiel to open the scoring.
Matt Turner looked uncomfortable in the Forest goal and finally succumbed to Man Utd’s pressure when he misplaced a pass into the path of Alejandro Garnacho, who found Marcus Rashford to finish the move.
Minutes later, Turner made a big save to redeem himself, and 17 seconds later, Morgan Gibbs-White planted the ball into Andre Onana’s net with a fierce strike from the edge of the box.
Forest held out for a huge three points, which lifted them five points above the relegation zone as United missed the chance to move up to sixth.

GOAL! NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1-1 MANCHESTER UNITED (RASHFORD)
Turner is put under pressure again and plays a pass straight to Garnacho, who finds Rashford as the out-of-form striker places the ball excellently into the far corner to finish smartly. A moment to forget for Turner, but that will do Rashford the world of good!

Turner gets lucky
He's under pressure and he swings at the ball which he completely mis-hits and goes high in the air. The ball drops and has so much spin on it, that it bounces back into the goalkeeper's arms. Rashford was lurking but it simply bounced over his head.

Can United spare their blushes and recover this?
They lost their previous Premier League game against an opponent starting the day in the bottom half of the table (0-3 v Bournemouth). They haven’t lost consecutive games against such opposition since October/November 2021, when they lost against Leicester (13th) and Watford (17th) under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
