Manchester United looked dead on arrival five minutes into their match with Nottingham Forest.
Taiwo Awoniyi scored two minutes after the opening whistle and Willy Boly added another goal two minutes later to give Forest a quick 2-0 lead. For a United squad that lost to Tottenham 2-0 just a week ago, another defeat — no less at the hands of team that finished 16th in the table this past season — would have been a devastating start to the season.
But after goals from Christian Eriksen and Casemiro in the 17th and 52nd minutes evened the match, United captain Bruno Fernandes nailed a penalty kick in the 76th minute to give Manchester the lead and, eventually, the win. Fernandes' goal capped off a feisty flurry of events in the match that led to Forest's doom. Center back Joe Worrall was hit with a red card after a hard foul on Fernandes in the 67th minute and midfielder Danilo Oliveira tripped up United forward Marcus Rashford in the box to set up the penalty kick.A red card followed by a penalty for Bruno Fernandes after a foul on Marcus Rashford.
