Nottingham Forest secured a historic 3-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, their first win there in nearly 30 years, capitalising on defensive errors from the home side.
United equalised through Rasmus Hojlund after Nikola Milenkovic’s early opener, but Forest seized control early in the second half with goals from Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood.
Goalkeeper Andre Onana’s misjudgment and poor defensive reactions from Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martinez allowed Wood’s looping header to secure the decisive third goal.
Although United’s Bruno Fernandes pulled one back, the hosts failed to recover, suffering their second consecutive Premier League defeat.
Chris Wood, celebrating his 33rd birthday, was the standout player for Forest, notching his 25th Premier League goal to become the club’s record scorer in the competition.
His strong partnership with manager Nuno Espirito Santo continues to flourish, with 21 goals in 31 league appearances under the Portuguese coach.
Forest’s victory lifts them to fifth in the table, while Manchester United languish in 13th with their worst points tally at this stage of the season since 1986-87.
The defeat highlights United’s ongoing defensive frailties, particularly on set-pieces, leaving new manager Ruben Amorim with significant challenges ahead.
