Amad Diallo's late goal saves Manchester United against Forest in a game marked by contentious first goal.

Nottingham, England - A late volley from Amad Diallo rescued a point for Manchester United in a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The match was filled with drama, including a controversial opening goal for United and a spirited comeback from the home side.

Manchester United, aiming for their fourth straight league win, started strong, with Casemiro heading in the opening goal. However, the legitimacy of the corner that led to the goal was heavily disputed by Forest supporters, who voiced their displeasure. Despite the protests, the goal stood, and United looked set to continue their climb up the Premier League table. Diallo himself had a chance to double the lead before halftime but missed.

Nottingham Forest, under pressure to escape the relegation zone, displayed resilience in the second half. Just three minutes after the restart, Morgan Gibbs-White headed in the equalizer, igniting the home crowd. The momentum shifted dramatically as Nicolo Savona tapped in a second goal for Forest just 92 seconds later, completing a stunning turnaround. The Forest fans erupted as their team took the lead, their first league goals since September 20.

As the game wore on, Manchester United struggled to regain control. However, in the 81st minute, Amad Diallo delivered a moment of brilliance, striking a sweet volley that found the back of the net. The goal salvaged a point for United and silenced the Forest supporters. Despite Diallo's heroics, the winger expressed disappointment in only securing a point against a struggling Nottingham Forest side.

The draw leaves Manchester United still outside the top spots. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest remains in the relegation zone, still searching for their first league win under their new manager, Sean Dyche, who was appointed last month.
