Manchester United enjoyed a good evening at the City Ground, as they picked up a 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.
The Red Devils delivered a clinical performance and managed the game exceptionally well, despite dealing with injuries to key personnel.
The visitors started the game off strongly, with the first big chance falling the way of Jadon Sancho in the 18th minute.
They eventually earned the advantage through Antony, which came after a lovely bit of play resulting in a strike from Anthony Martial.
Martial’s shot was palmed away by Keylor Navas, only to fall in the path of the Brazilian winger who tapped the ball home and gave United the lead.
The 23-year-old also played a direct role in the Red Devil’s second goal, giving fans another glimpse of what the £85m summer signing is all about.
The Brazil International embarked on a driving run from the right-hand side, skipping past a couple of challenges on his way to the box.
Showing excellent awareness, he then deployed a perfectly-weighted pass for fullback Diogo Dalot, who calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net.
The goal at Forest was Dalot’s first in the Premier League, and his 3rd overall as a United player.
Naturally, the 24-year-old was an ecstatic figure, as evidenced by the many celebrations he executed following the goal.
The Portugal International started with a bit of impassioned pointing, followed it up with some gesturing, and even tapped his nerve because why not. But the celebration that caught the eyes of fans online came shortly after.
