RUBEN AMORIM suffered home honeymoon horror as Forest plundered victory to punish more meek Manchester United defending.
2024/2025 Premier League
2 – 3
Match Report
Three days after Amorim’s first defeat in charge – at Arsenal – the Red Devils’ fine Old Trafford record collapsed.
Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes fired home in vain for the Red Devils after Forest started each half spectacularly.
United again conceded from a set-piece, Nikola Milenkovic soaring to head his first forest goal from a third-minute corner.
But Hojlund snapped up a deserved leveller after Matz Sels could only parry a low shot from goal-bound Alejandro Garnacho.
However, Forest conjured a start to the second half that was even brighter and sharper than that to the first.
Bruno Fernandes lost possession and Morgan Gibbs-White hit a long-range swerver that deceived Andre Onana to restore the visitors’ lead.
Chris Wood then headed Forest 3-1 up on 54 minutes – albeit with Lisandro Martinez amongst the United defenders who could have done better to keep it out.
Just seven minutes later, however, Amad Diallo followed up a fine run by stabbing the ball to Fernandes, who swept home a top-corner right-footer to set up an absorbing last quarter of the contest.
