Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest with goals from Antony and Dalot
Antony scored a goal and provided an assist for Dalot to help United beat Forest.
Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest with a fine display on Sunday to strengthen their grip on the Champions League places in the Premier League.
Erik ten Hag’s side outclassed Forest at the City Ground, making it three wins from three in Nottingham, to move into third place in the table.
Antony scored his first Premier League goal since October to give United the lead in the first half. The Brazilian winger did brilliantly in the second half to tee up full-back Diogo Dalot, who made it 2-0 and put the game to bed to keep Forest in the bottom three of the league.
Bruno key for United
Man of the match Bruno Fernandes was instrumental on the day and could have had a couple of goals of his own but Forest keeper Keylor Navas managed to keep the Portuguese playmaker out on multiple occasions.
United have taken advantage of Newcastle’s defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday to reclaim third place, a position they will aim to hold on to until the end of May.
