AFCON 2025
Former Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga made the difference on the night as Nottingham Forest secured a slim win over the Red Devils.
The Swedish winger scored from a solo run off a Manchester United corner to give the home side the lead in the fifth minute.
The ex-Red Devil continued his fantastic run this season with his 14th goal contribution for Nottingham Forest in the league.
While Manchester United dominated possession for large spells of the match, the Red Devils lacked the cutting edge to breach a resolute Forest defense.
Diogo Dalot came closest to getting a goal for Reuben Amorim’s mem but his header off a corner went off the post.
The Red Devils struggled to create chances in the second half as the home side switched to a back five limiting spaces in and around the edge of the box.
Anthony Elanga’s goal on the night secured maximum points for the Nuno Espirito Santo’s men as they maintain a tight grip on the third spot with 57 points.
Nottingham Forest are eyeing a return to the Champions League for the first time in decades with eight matches left in the league.
