Amad Diallo late strike earns United point at Nottingham Forest

Amad Diallo lashed home a thunderous 81st-minute volley to earn Manchester United a point in a thrilling Premier League encounter against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

The visitors thought they were heading for a fourth straight win and second place in the table after Casemiro headed them into a half-time lead from a corner that Forest players felt should not have been awarded.

But the game turned on its head within two second-half minutes as Forest captain Morgan Gibbs-White outmuscled Amad to reach Ryan Yates’ deep cross from the right and scored.

Moments later, Forest struck again, once more creating problems for United with a cross from the right. Nicolo Savona reacted quickest when Igor Jesus’ header bounced off bodies into the six-yard box, keeping his composure to beat United goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

However, Ruben Amorim’s United showed resilience, refusing to crumble under pressure. Instead, they fought their way back into the game.

Bruno Fernandes struck the base of the post before Amad brilliantly latched onto a looping clearance just outside the area and volleyed first time past Matz Sels.

Amad might have won it for United, but deep into stoppage time, his shot was cleared off the line by Murillo.
