The scoreline speaks for itself – but this will be written into City Ground folklore as Matt Turner’s match.
Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo and his merry men might have ended a 31-year wait for victory over Manchester United. But the star of the show was Turner on a night when Forest’s shut-out star went from zero to hero in the blink of an eye.
That sentence warrants an explanation. Going into the late stages, Forest were doggedly protecting Nicolas Dominguez’s second-half sidefoot finish. Goalkeeper Turner – who had looked nervous all night with the ball at his feet – attempted a pass to midfielder Danilo.
