Nottingham Forest edged past Manchester United with a 1-0 victory at the City Ground in their Premier League match on Tuesday night. Anthony Elanga struck early against his former club. The winger sprinted from his own half before slotting home in the fifth minute, securing a crucial win for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. Despite United's dominance in possession and 24 shots, they failed to find the net, with Harry Maguire missing two late chances, including a goal-line clearance by Murillo. Forest remain third, extending their cushion over Chelsea and Manchester City, while United stay 13th in a frustrating campaign.
