Man United ratings: Bruno Fernandes gets 9/10 afte...
Key takeaways
- It took just five minutes for the hosts to take the lead as left back Luke Shaw netted his first goal in over three years with an effort guided through traffic and into the far corner.
- The biggest moment of the match came when Fernandes registered his 20th Premier League assist of the season to equal the record held by Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, as Mbeumo finally scored to end his goal drought.
- And United were unlucky not to extend their lead with a flurry of chances in stoppage time.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
It took just five minutes for the hosts to take the lead as left back Luke Shaw netted his first goal in over three years with an effort guided through traffic and into the far corner. The Red Devils could have then had a second when Matheus Cunha played in Bryan Mbeumo, only for the 26-year-old striker to hit the post after rounding goalkeeper Matz Sels.
Forest found an equalizer in the 53rd minute when an excellent cross from Elliot Anderson found Morato, but parity didn't last long as the referee stuck with his on-field decision of goal following a VAR review for a handball claim on Mbeumo in the buildup after Cunha found the back of the net.
