Party day in Forest, as Nottingham Forest grab a significant win over Manchester united

At the City Ground, Morgan Gibbs-White scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute.

Marcus Rashford pulled United even in the 78th minute after the team had fallen

behind early on thanks to a goal from Nicolas Dominguez in the 64th.

However, all of that hard work was undone when Gibbs-White scored from

the edge of the box to start a counterattack for Forest.

United has not won its last four away games and has dropped nine of its 20 league games. On the table, it was ranked seventh.

Tuesday’s victory over Aston Villa served as a reminder of Ten Hag’s team’s inconsistency

United is fighting to finish in the top four

of the Premier League after already losing out on the Champions League and

League Cup. It has played one more game and is nine points behind Arsenal in fourth place.

Under the leadership of new manager Nuno Espírito Santo, Forest has quickly

found its form, winning back-to-back

games over the Christmas break against United and Newcastle.

Up to 15th place, Forest is five points clear of the relegation zone.
