Manchester United have equalised against Nottingham Forest after it looked like Erik ten Hag’s men were heading towards their 14th defeat of the season.
United made the trip to the City Ground following a highly dramatic turnaround win over Aston Villa earlier this week and the home side have made it difficult for the Reds.
The two sides went into half-time level but Nuno Espirito Santo’s men grabbed the lead roughly halfway through the second half.
United struggled to get back in the game but Matt Turner, the Nottingham Forest goalkeeper, made a series of errors that invited United into the game.

It was only a matter of time before United punished the American shot-stopper for his sloppiness and it was Alejandro Garnacho who was at the heart of it.
After several nervy moments, Garnacho perfectly predicted the path of Turner’s pass, intercepting it and proceeding to find Marcus Rashford in the perfect position.
Rashford slotted in his third Premier League goal of the season but United’s chase for a winner would not last long as the hosts quickly restored their lead through Morgan Gibbs-White.
