Erik ten Hag’s verdict

Solid efficiency and a well-deserved win. The solely criticism is that it ought to have been the next rating. [On the injuries] We have greater than 11 gamers, and also you wouldn’t say bringing in Christian Eriksen is a drawback. He performed an excellent recreation.

Both full-backs are necessary [in creating space for Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes]: to come back inside, to go outdoors, the co-operation. I feel we attracted them and created area on the proper moments; the timing was good to move the ball within the central arreas.

[On the first goal] It was an ideal motion from Anthony Martial. He’s an extremely good participant – he can hyperlink up, he retains the ball, his urgent is sweet and he can end. But we’d like extra goalscorers and I’m proud of Antony scoring a purpose and giving an help. He didn’t begin the sport effectively – twice he needed to make a special determination and minimize the ball again to Christian Eriksen – however after he got here into the sport and he was a continuing risk.

He’s undoubtedly making progress. He missed probabilities towards Everton so I’m completely happy for him at this time, and he may need scored one other if Aaron Wan-Bissaka hadn’t blocked his shot!

[Why did you play Harry Maguire on the right of the centre-backs? He usually plays on the left when he’s alongside Lindelof?] Not with me. Not this season. The angles are usually not good if Harry is taking part in on the left facet; it’s tough for him. Also, defending in large areas of his left foot. I feel Harry is excellent on the suitable, and Victor can use each toes. He did an excellent job on [Brennan] Johnson.

[Are you prioritising any particular competition?] We strategy it recreation by recreation. What else can we do? We are United, we’ve got to win each recreation; that needs to be the strategy. I do know it is not going to all the time work out, and for those who play so many video games typically you get a setback. Today was a very focussed efficiency, and that’s what you want. At this stage of the season each recreation is a last as a result of each time is battling for one thing.

Post-match response

Bruno Fernandes

We know it’s robust to play right here. They could be harmful on the counter-attack and we dealt rather well with that. It’s an excellent win. [On changing position just before kick-off] That doesn’t matter. The primary factor is that the alternative did a very good job, that was Christian. We aren’t simply 11 gamers and everybody needs to be prepared. We are one of many groups the place the subs have an ideal impression throughout video games with targets, assists and giving contemporary legs.

It was an incredible save [from Navas]. I mentioned to him that he solely saved my pictures at this time! I additionally missed a header within the first half, however the result’s an important factor for me. We wish to be within the Champions League subsequent season.

Diogo Dalot

We have been calm contained in the dressing room. Players get injured, that is soccer, however everyone is prepared and we confirmed that at this time.

Peep peep! Manchester United transfer as much as third after an emphatic victory on the City Ground. Antony scored the primary from shut vary and made the second for Diogo Dalot, who stuffed in at left-back and scored a really fashionable full-back’s purpose.

Antony was wonderful, Christian Eriksen was even higher and Bruno Fernandes was one of the best of the lot. It would have been much more however for Keylor Navas, who made just a few good saves and one outrageous one from Fernandes.

He marched via on purpose, each bit the trendy full-back, managed the ball deftly on the run and slipped it calmly previous Navas.

71 min It’s uncommon {that a} match is each intriguing and completely one-sided, however that’s the case right here, a minimum of in my head. Forest have executed fairly effectively to remain within the recreation, as they did towards Manchester City two months in the past.

69 min Forest have had a bit extra of the sport in the previous couple of minutes, sufficient to given them hope of a rousing end. United have been stung right here prior to now: in 1984-85 they have been 2-0 up after an hour and misplaced 3-2.

Match report: Nottm Forest 0-2 Man Utd

That’s it for at this time. Thanks on your firm and emails – goodnight.

Erik ten Hag’s verdict

Solid efficiency and a well-deserved win. The solely criticism is that it ought to have been the next rating. [On the injuries] We have greater than 11 gamers, and also you wouldn’t say bringing in Christian Eriksen is a drawback. He performed an excellent recreation.

Both full-backs are necessary [in creating space for Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes]: to come back inside, to go outdoors, the co-operation. I feel we attracted them and created area on the proper moments; the timing was good to move the ball within the central arreas.

[On the first goal] It was an ideal motion from Anthony Martial. He’s an extremely good participant – he can hyperlink up, he retains the ball, his urgent is sweet and he can end. But we’d like extra goalscorers and I’m proud of Antony scoring a purpose and giving an help. He didn’t begin the sport effectively – twice he needed to make a special determination and minimize the ball again to Christian Eriksen – however after he got here into the sport and he was a continuing risk.

He’s undoubtedly making progress. He missed probabilities towards Everton so I’m completely happy for him at this time, and he may need scored one other if Aaron Wan-Bissaka hadn’t blocked his shot!

[Why did you play Harry Maguire on the right of the centre-backs? He usually plays on the left when he’s alongside Lindelof?] Not with me. Not this season. The angles are usually not good if Harry is taking part in on the left facet; it’s tough for him. Also, defending in large areas of his left foot. I feel Harry is excellent on the suitable, and Victor can use each toes. He did an excellent job on [Brennan] Johnson.

[Are you prioritising any particular competition?] We strategy it recreation by recreation. What else can we do? We are United, we’ve got to win each recreation; that needs to be the strategy. I do know it is not going to all the time work out, and for those who play so many video games typically you get a setback. Today was a very focussed efficiency, and that’s what you want. At this stage of the season each recreation is a last as a result of each time is battling for one thing.

Post-match response

Bruno Fernandes

We know it’s robust to play right here. They could be harmful on the counter-attack and we dealt rather well with that. It’s an excellent win. [On changing position just before kick-off] That doesn’t matter. The primary factor is that the alternative did a very good job, that was Christian. We aren’t simply 11 gamers and everybody needs to be prepared. We are one of many groups the place the subs have an ideal impression throughout video games with targets, assists and giving contemporary legs.

It was an incredible save [from Navas]. I mentioned to him that he solely saved my pictures at this time! I additionally missed a header within the first half, however the result’s an important factor for me. We wish to be within the Champions League subsequent season.

Diogo Dalot

We have been calm contained in the dressing room. Players get injured, that is soccer, however everyone is prepared and we confirmed that at this time. It was particular [to score his first Premier League goal], and it was an necessary second too – at 2-0 we have been extra snug within the recreation. [On his celebratory handshake with Antony] Yeah, it’s our little factor. He performed a improbable recreation as effectively, his rewards are coming now.

Solid efficiency and a well-deserved win. The solely criticism is that it ought to have been the next rating. [On the injuries] We have greater than 11 gamers, and also you wouldn’t say bringing in Christian Eriksen is a drawback. He performed an excellent recreation.

Both full-backs are necessary [in creating space for Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes]: to come back inside, to go outdoors, the co-operation. I feel we attracted them and created area on the proper moments; the timing was good to move the ball within the central arreas.

[On the first goal] It was an ideal motion from Anthony Martial. He’s an extremely good participant – he can hyperlink up, he retains the ball, his urgent is sweet and he can end. But we’d like extra goalscorers and I’m proud of Antony scoring a purpose and giving an help. He didn’t begin the sport effectively – twice he needed to make a special determination and minimize the ball again to Christian Eriksen – however after he got here into the sport and he was a continuing risk.

He’s undoubtedly making progress. He missed probabilities towards Everton so I’m completely happy for him at this time, and he may need scored one other if Aaron Wan-Bissaka hadn’t blocked his shot!

[Why did you play Harry Maguire on the right of the centre-backs? He usually plays on the left when he’s alongside Lindelof?] Not with me. Not this season. The angles are usually not good if Harry is taking part in on the left facet; it’s tough for him. Also, defending in large areas of his left foot. I feel Harry is excellent on the suitable, and Victor can use each toes. He did an excellent job on [Brennan] Johnson.

[Are you prioritising any particular competition?] We strategy it recreation by recreation. What else can we do? We are United, we’ve got to win each recreation; that needs to be the strategy. I do know it is not going to all the time work out, and for those who play so many video games typically you get a setback. Today was a very focussed efficiency, and that’s what you want. At this stage of the season each recreation is a last as a result of each time is battling for one thing.

Post-match response

Bruno Fernandes

We know it’s robust to play right here. They could be harmful on the counter-attack and we dealt rather well with that. It’s an excellent win.

Match report: Nottm Forest 0-2 Man Utd

That’s it for at this time. Thanks on your firm and emails – goodnight.

Erik ten Hag’s verdict

Solid efficiency and a well-deserved win. The solely criticism is that it ought to have been the next rating. [On the injuries] We have greater than 11 gamers, and also you wouldn’t say bringing in Christian Eriksen is a drawback. He performed an excellent recreation.

Both full-backs are necessary [in creating space for Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes]: to come back inside, to go outdoors, the co-operation. I feel we attracted them and created area on the proper moments; the timing was good to move the ball within the central arreas.

[On the first goal] It was an ideal motion from Anthony Martial. He’s an extremely good participant – he can hyperlink up, he retains the ball, his urgent is sweet and he can end. But we’d like extra goalscorers and I’m proud of Antony scoring a purpose and giving an help. He didn’t begin the sport effectively – twice he needed to make a special determination and minimize the ball again to Christian Eriksen – however after he got here into the sport and he was a continuing risk.

He’s undoubtedly making progress. He missed probabilities towards Everton so I’m completely happy for him at this time, and he may need scored one other if Aaron Wan-Bissaka hadn’t blocked his shot!

[Why did you play Harry Maguire on the right of the centre-backs? He usually plays on the left when he’s alongside Lindelof?] Not with me. Not this season. The angles are usually not good if Harry is taking part in on the left facet; it’s tough for him. Also, defending in large areas of his left foot. I feel Harry is excellent on the suitable, and Victor can use each toes. He did an excellent job on [Brennan] Johnson.

[Are you prioritising any particular competition?] We strategy it recreation by recreation. What else can we do? We are United, we’ve got to win each recreation; that needs to be the strategy. I do know it is not going to all the time work out, and for those who play so many video games typically you get a setback. Today was a very focussed efficiency, and that’s what you want. At this stage of the season each recreation is a last as a result of each time is battling for one thing.

Post-match response

Bruno Fernandes

We know it’s robust to play right here. They could be harmful on the counter-attack and we dealt rather well with that. It’s an excellent win. [On changing position just before kick-off] That doesn’t matter. The primary factor is that the alternative did a very good job, that was Christian. We aren’t simply 11 gamers and everybody needs to be prepared. We are one of many groups the place the subs have an ideal impression throughout video games with targets, assists and giving contemporary legs.

It was an incredible save [from Navas]. I mentioned to him that he solely saved my pictures at this time! I additionally missed a header within the first half, however the result’s an important factor for me. We wish to be within the Champions League subsequent season.

Diogo Dalot

We have been calm contained in the dressing room. Players get injured, that is soccer, however everyone is prepared and we confirmed that at this time. It was particular [to score his first Premier League goal], and it was an necessary second too – at 2-0 we have been extra snug within the recreation. [On his celebratory handshake with Antony] Yeah, it’s our little factor. He performed a improbable recreation as effectively, his rewards are coming now.

Solid efficiency and a well-deserved win. The solely criticism is that it ought to have been the next rating. [On the injuries] We have greater than 11 gamers, and also you wouldn’t say bringing in Christian Eriksen is a drawback. He performed an excellent recreation.

Both full-backs are necessary [in creating space for Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes]: to come back inside, to go outdoors, the co-operation. I feel we attracted them and created area on the proper moments; the timing was good to move the ball within the central arreas.

[On the first goal] It was an ideal motion from Anthony Martial. He’s an extremely good participant – he can hyperlink up, he retains the ball, his urgent is sweet and he can end. But we’d like extra goalscorers and I’m proud of Antony scoring a purpose and giving an help. He didn’t begin the sport effectively – twice he needed to make a special determination and minimize the ball again to Christian Eriksen – however after he got here into the sport and he was a continuing risk.

He’s undoubtedly making progress. He missed probabilities towards Everton so I’m completely happy for him at this time, and he may need scored one other if Aaron Wan-Bissaka hadn’t blocked his shot!

[Why did you play Harry Maguire on the right of the centre-backs? He usually plays on the left when he’s alongside Lindelof?] Not with me. Not this season. The angles are usually not good if Harry is taking part in on the left facet; it’s tough for him. Also, defending in large areas of his left foot. I feel Harry is excellent on the suitable, and Victor can use each toes. He did an excellent job on [Brennan] Johnson.

[Are you prioritising any particular competition?] We strategy it recreation by recreation. What else can we do? We are United, we’ve got to win each recreation; that needs to be the strategy. I do know it is not going to all the time work out, and for those who play so many video games typically you get a setback. Today was a very focussed efficiency, and that’s what you want. At this stage of the season each recreation is a last as a result of each time is battling for one thing.

Bruno Fernandes

We know it’s robust to play right here. They could be harmful on the counter-attack and we dealt rather well with that. It’s an excellent win.

Match report: Nottm Forest 0-2 Man Utd

That’s it for at this time. Thanks on your firm and emails – goodnight.

Erik ten Hag’s verdict

Solid efficiency and a well-deserved win. The solely criticism is that it ought to have been the next rating. [On the injuries] We have greater than 11 gamers, and also you wouldn’t say bringing in Christian Eriksen is a drawback. He performed an excellent recreation.

Both full-backs are necessary [in creating space for Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes]: to come back inside, to go outdoors, the co-operation. I feel we attracted them and created area on the proper moments; the timing was good to move the ball within the central arreas.

[On the first goal] It was an ideal motion from Anthony Martial. He’s an extremely good participant – he can hyperlink up, he retains the ball, his urgent is sweet and he can end. But we’d like extra goalscorers and I’m proud of Antony scoring a purpose and giving an help. He didn’t begin the sport effectively – twice he needed to make a special determination and minimize the ball again to Christian Eriksen – however after he got here into the sport and he was a continuing risk.

He’s undoubtedly making progress. He missed probabilities towards Everton so I’m completely happy for him at this time, and he may need scored one other if Aaron Wan-Bissaka hadn’t blocked his shot!

[Why did you play Harry Maguire on the right of the centre-backs? He usually plays on the left when he’s alongside Lindelof?] Not with me. Not this season. The angles are usually not good if Harry is taking part in on the left facet; it’s tough for him. Also, defending in large areas of his left foot. I feel Harry is excellent on the suitable, and Victor can use each toes. He did an excellent job on [Brennan] Johnson.

[Are you prioritising any particular competition?] We strategy it recreation by recreation. What else can we do? We are United, we’ve got to win each recreation; that needs to be the strategy. I do know it is not going to all the time work out, and for those who play so many video games typically you get a setback. Today was a very focussed efficiency, and that’s what you want. At this stage of the season each recreation is a last as a result of each time is battling for one thing.

Post-match response

Bruno Fernandes

We know it’s robust to play right here. They could be harmful on the counter-attack and we dealt rather well with that. It’s an excellent win. [On changing position just before kick-off] That doesn’t matter. The primary factor is that the alternative did a very good job, that was Christian. We aren’t simply 11 gamers and everybody needs to be prepared. We are one of many groups the place the subs have an ideal impression throughout video games with targets, assists and giving contemporary legs.

It was an incredible save [from Navas]. I mentioned to him that he solely saved my pictures at this time! I additionally missed a header within the first half, however the result’s an important factor for me. We wish to be within the Champions League subsequent season.

Diogo Dalot

We have been calm contained in the dressing room. Players get injured, that is soccer, however everyone is prepared and we confirmed that at this time. It was particular [to score his first Premier League goal], and it was an necessary second too – at 2-0 we have been extra snug within the recreation. [On his celebratory handshake with Antony] Yeah, it’s our little factor. He performed a improbable recreation as effectively, his rewards are coming now.

55 min This is an efficient spell for United. Wan-Bissaka has a shot blocked, then Eriksen’s cross from the suitable brushes the top of the main Fernandes. I’d forgotten, in Eriksen’s absence, how effectively he and Fernandes play collectively.

Match report: Nottm Forest 0-2 Man Utd

That’s it for at this time. Thanks on your firm and emails – goodnight.

Erik ten Hag’s verdict

Solid efficiency and a well-deserved win. The solely criticism is that it ought to have been the next rating. [On the injuries] We have greater than 11 gamers, and also you wouldn’t say bringing in Christian Eriksen is a drawback. He performed an excellent recreation.

Both full-backs are necessary [in creating space for Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes]: to come back inside, to go outdoors, the co-operation. I feel we attracted them and created area on the proper moments; the timing was good to move the ball within the central arreas.

[On the first goal] It was an ideal motion from Anthony Martial. He’s an extremely good participant – he can hyperlink up, he retains the ball, his urgent is sweet and he can end. But we’d like extra goalscorers and I’m proud of Antony scoring a purpose and giving an help. He didn’t begin the sport effectively – twice he needed to make a special determination and minimize the ball again to Christian Eriksen – however after he got here into the sport and he was a continuing risk.

He’s undoubtedly making progress. He missed probabilities towards Everton so I’m completely happy for him at this time, and he may need scored one other if Aaron Wan-Bissaka hadn’t blocked his shot!

[Why did you play Harry Maguire on the right of the centre-backs? He usually plays on the left when he’s alongside Lindelof?] Not with me. Not this season. The angles are usually not good if Harry is taking part in on the left facet; it’s tough for him. Also, defending in large areas of his left foot. I feel Harry is excellent on the suitable, and Victor can use each toes. He did an excellent job on [Brennan] Johnson.

[Are you prioritising any particular competition?] We strategy it recreation by recreation. What else can we do? We are United, we’ve got to win each recreation; that needs to be the strategy. I do know it is not going to all the time work out, and for those who play so many video games typically you get a setback. Today was a very focussed efficiency, and that’s what you want. At this stage of the season each recreation is a last as a result of each time is battling for one thing.

Post-match response

Bruno Fernandes

We know it’s robust to play right here. They could be harmful on the counter-attack and we dealt rather well with that. It’s an excellent win. [On changing position just before kick-off] That doesn’t matter. The primary factor is that the alternative did a very good job, that was Christian. We aren’t simply 11 gamers and everybody needs to be prepared. We are one of many groups the place the subs have an ideal impression throughout video games with targets, assists and giving contemporary legs.

It was an incredible save [from Navas]. I mentioned to him that he solely saved my pictures at this time! I additionally missed a header within the first half, however the result’s an important factor for me. We wish to be within the Champions League subsequent season.

Diogo Dalot

We have been calm contained in the dressing room. Players get injured, that is soccer, however everyone is prepared and we confirmed that at this time. It was particular [to score his first Premier League goal], and it was an necessary second too – at 2-0 we have been extra snug within the recreation. [On his celebratory handshake with Antony] Yeah, it’s our little factor. He performed a improbable recreation as effectively, his rewards are coming now.

xG division: Forest 0.68-3.49 Man Utd

Has any person tinkered with the xG algorithm? The numbers have gone up massively within the latest weeks. It’s virtually as if it must be taken with a pinch of salt!

It hasn’t been an ideal day for Man Utd, although, as a result of the probabilities of a Manchester City elevated when Arsenal spaffed one other 2-0 lead.

(Personally I feel there’s a really highly effective argument that even a City Quadruple wouldn’t high United’s Treble, due to the uniquely dramatic, euphoric, spectacular, nerve-shredding method by which it happened, however I assume I might say that.)

Peep peep! Manchester United transfer as much as third after an emphatic victory on the City Ground. Antony scored the primary from shut vary and made the second for Diogo Dalot, who stuffed in at left-back and scored a really fashionable full-back’s purpose.

Antony was wonderful, Christian Eriksen was even higher and Bruno Fernandes was one of the best of the lot. It would have been much more however for Keylor Navas, who made just a few good saves and one outrageous one from Fernandes.

Forest had an excellent case for a penaly at 0-0, when the ball hit the arm of Harry Maguire. That apart, they’ll haven’t any complaints. With a troublesome run-in forward, they’re in severe hassle.

90+3 min Weghorst is booked for slapping Niakhate on the arm after a little bit of a wrestling match.

90+2 min Great defending from Wan-Bissaka, who inadvertently blocks a trademark roller from Antony. That regarded like it may need been getting into.

90 min Four minutes of added time. For all their defensive issues, United are heading for a 3rd consecutive clear sheet within the league, and a fourth in 5 video games since they went AWOL at Anfield. And after a very nervous first half hour, Harry Maguire has performed effectively.

89 min This is guiltily hilarious.

88 min: Forest substitution Jesse Lingard replaces Morgan Gibbs-White, who was stored very quiet by Casemiro.

87 min United break dangerously via Fernandes, who finds Sancho on the left facet of the realm. He cuts inside Williams – he’s had him on toast within the second half – however then blazes excessive and large. It’s been one other irritating day for Sancho, who can’t appear to kick on at United regardless of his considerable expertise.

86 min If it stays like this United will six factors away from fifth-placed Spurs with a recreation in hand.

85 min “I share Joe Pearson’s dirty little secret regarding EtH,” says Matt Dony. “I guess I know how a lot of fans of other clubs feel about Klopp. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been on Twitter, I know an awful lot of people hate him! But he’s generated more respect amongst reasonable fans of rival clubs than anyone else I can remember.”

84 min Fernandes whacks a wonderful free-kick simply large from 25 yards.

83 min Mangala is booked for pulling again Antony, who’s having one in all his finest days in a United shirt.

82 min Here’s that Dalot purpose. Wout Weghorst made an excellent run off the ball to create the area as effectively. It seems like I’m patronising him, however I’m not – he’s executed that just a few instances since becoming a member of United.

81 min: Forest substitution Emmanuel Dennis replaces Scott McKenna, which implies a change to a again 4.

80 min We’ve criticised him a lot this season, so credit score the place it’s as a result of Antony: one purpose, one help, and a continuing risk.

78 min: Man Utd substitution Fred replaces Christian Eriksen, who was majestic after changing Marcel Sabitzer simply earlier than kick-off.

It was made fairly fantastically by Antony. He shuffled infield, 20 yards from purpose, after which reversed a beautiful move into the trail of Dalot. He marched via on purpose, each bit the trendy full-back, managed the ball deftly on the run and slipped it calmly previous Navas. That’s a wonderful end and a advantageous purpose, Dalot’s first within the Premier League I feel.

Diogo Dalot doubles United’s lead with a pleasant purpose!

75 min This gained’t finish 1-0.

74 min United break and Antony’s cross-shot is pushed away desperately by the diving Navas. It might have gone wherever, with a number of United gamers following up, however ran safely for Forest.

74 min: Chance for Forest! The nook is swung to the close to publish, the place Felipe will get in entrance of Casemiro and de Gea, two yards out, however heads over on the stretch. He slaps the publish in frustration. As Gary Neville says on Sky, he simply acquired a bit an excessive amount of on the ball.

73 min Williams’ cross takes a deflection, spins throughout the six-yard field and goes simply large of the far publish. Before the nook is taken, Williams waves to the group to make extra noise.

72 min: Man Utd substitution That’s Martial’s final contact – he’s changed by Wout Weghorst. Martial wasn’t at his swaggering finest however he did make the purpose for Antony with a pointy run and first-time shot.

71 min: Great probability for Martial! United miss one other alternative to double their lead. Casemiro booms a marvellous cross from the suitable to the far publish, the place Martial will get between defenders however heads large from six yards. He ought to have scored.

71 min It’s uncommon {that a} match is each intriguing and completely one-sided, however that’s the case right here, a minimum of in my head. Forest have executed fairly effectively to remain within the recreation, as they did towards Manchester City two months in the past.

69 min Forest have had a bit extra of the sport in the previous couple of minutes, sufficient to given them hope of a rousing end. United have been stung right here prior to now: in 1984-85 they have been 2-0 up after an hour and misplaced 3-2.

67 min Sancho slithers classily away from Williams, who pulls him again and is booked.

66 min Gibbs-White’s floated free-kick is headed large from a really tight angle by McKenna.

64 min Navas makes one other good save from Eriksen, who ran onto a intelligent free-kick from Fernandes and hooked a bouncing ball in direction of purpose. Those two have been a category aside.

64 min This is the mighty save from Keylor Navas that stored Forest within the recreation.

63 min United look eager to place this to mattress earlier than Martial and/or Eriksen need to go off as a result of workload administration. That’s honest sufficient, significantly given what happened towards Sevilla on Thursday. I don’t suppose this recreation is over, despite the fact that the second half has been embarrassingly one-sided.

62 min There’s a precedent for Forest to cling to. Two months in the past they have been 1-0 down and being battered by a facet from Manchester, and that resulted in a 1-1 draw.

61 min: Now Fernandes hits the publish! Forest can’t get out in any respect. Dalot finds Fernandes on the sting of the realm, and his deflected low shot is pushed towards the surface of the publish by the sprawling Navas. An excellent save, if nowhere close to as good as the primary.

60 min “Palace fan here,” says Bobby Dunnett. “Maybe I’m getting ahead of myself but I’m enjoying wanting Forest to win without worrying about how it affects us.”

I don’t suppose there’s any actual want for the primary seven phrases of that second sentence.

58 min: Just large from Antony! After a surained spell of strain from United, Antony runs throughout the road of the Forest space and curls a low shot simply large of the far publish. At the second, Forest are hanging on to their 1-0 deficit.

57 min Eriksen’s deflected shot hits a Forest defender, prompting a short enchantment for a penalty. I’d wish to see that once more.
