30 years rather than ten days! That’s how long it took Nottingham Forest to win away from home again Manchester United in a match for her Premier League. A great victory with 3-2 for the team of Vangelis Marinakis in “Old Trafford”.
Huge victory for Nottingham Forest inside “Old Trafford” and a new step towards its European exit. Vangelis Marinaki’s team beat Manchester United 3-2 and won their first “double” at the “theater of dreams” in a match for Premier League, after December 17, 1994.
With this victory in the match of the 15th matchday, Nottingham Forest reached 25 points, remaining in leading positions in Europe, leaving Manchester United at 19 points.
The two quick goals of the guests at the beginning of the second half (47′ and 54′) played a decisive role in the outcome of the match. United, who had a brace through Bruno Fernandes just before the end of the first half, tried too hard to ‘save the game’ after going down in the 61st minute, pushing for an equalizer but Nottingham’s defense held to pressure.
OR Nuno Espirito Santo’s team left with a great victory that makes them, now, for good as one of the main contenders for the European exit of the next season.
