Man United come from 2 goals down to beat 10-player Nottingham Forest

Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty as Manchester United came from two goals down inside four minutes to win 3-2 against 10-player Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly had stunned United and gave Steve Cooper’s side an excellent opportunity to claim their first away win in the Premier League since January but Christian Eriksen pulled one back and those hopes disappeared in the second half.

Casemiro levelled and when Joe Worrall was sent off for a foul on Fernandes, the momentum proved irresistible.

The United captain, however, scored the winner from the penalty spot after Marcus Rashford was fouled by Danilo.
