Match Summary

The Red Devils started brightly, and it wasn't long before they took the lead. Garnacho latched onto a loose ball on the edge of the area and fired a low shot past the Forest goalkeeper.

Forest grew into the game as the half wore on, but they were unable to find an equalizer. United doubled their lead just before halftime when Garnacho scored his second of the match, this time with a header.

The second half was a quieter affair, with neither side able to create many clear-cut chances. However, United sealed the win in the 75th minute when Rhys Bennett headed home from a corner.
