Nottingham Forest staged a spirited comeback to earn a 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Saturday, November 1, in a thrilling Premier League Matchday 10 clash at the City Ground. Forest, desperate for points to climb out of the relegation zone, showed incredible determination to overturn an early deficit before United salvaged a late equalizer.
United Strike First Through Casemiro
Manchester United entered the match with momentum, having won their previous three fixtures. They looked confident from the outset, pressing high and controlling possession. Their early pressure paid off in the 34th minute when Casemiro rose highest to meet a corner and power home a header, giving United a 1-0 lead.
For Forest, who had lost five straight matches leading into this fixture, the goal was a setback — but it did not break their resolve.
