Verdict

It will not be remembered as Forest’s greatest performance of the season but they will not care. It is a huge victory for them as they go another step closer to Champions League qualification.

It will also not be remembered as United’s worst performance of the season. Ruben Amorim’s side dominated possession and were on top for most of the game. They are perhaps unlucky to lose but there will be positives f0r them to take from this match.
