Manchester United's thrilling come-from-behind win over Nottingham Forest at home, Old Trafford. Awoniyi opened the scoring in the 2nd minute of the first half with a counterattack, and then a header from Nottingham set-piece to Boly in the 4th minute to make it 2-0.
Manchester United's defense seemed to fall apart early on. However, in the 17th minute of the first half, Rashford cut back and Eriksen scored the chase goal with a good shot. After that, Casemiro equalized in the 52nd minute of the second half, and Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty kick from Rashford in the 76th minute of the second half, eventually turning the game around 3-2.
At the beginning of this match, Manchester United had a difficult start due to uneasiness in the defense but eventually succeeded in turning the tables. However, since the beginning of this season, many players (Mainoo, Mount, Luke Shaw. Hojlund, Malacia, etc.) have been unable to play due to injuries, so it is questionable whether they can achieve good results in the early stages of the league.
