Ivorian Diallo earns Man Utd a hard-fought point at Forest

A stunning volley from Ivorian international Amad Diallo earned Manchester United a battling 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.

Looking to continue their revival under Ruben Amorim, United appeared to be on their way to securing a fourth successive league victory after Brazilian veteran Casemiro headed them into a 34th-minute lead.

United, however, capitulated early in the second half when two goals in less than two minutes from Morgan Gibbs-White and Nicolo Savona helped Forest to turn the match on its head.

The visitors responded well but were frustrated in their efforts to restore parity until Diallo unleashed a blistering strike from the edge of the penalty area nine minutes from time to secure a point for Amorim's side.

Diallo almost snatched victory at the death as United missed the chance to climb up to second in the standings with a win, the point helping them to move into fifth in the standings, above rivals Manchester City who play on Sunday. Forest stay 18th.
