Manchester United returned to winning ways after a shock 2-2 draw against Sevilla in the Europa League as hostility ensues in the Premier League.

Both sides were out to pick the three points in this fixture but it was Manchester United’s gain at the end of the game.

Manchester United was expected to miss star forward Marcus Rashford ahead of this match. While big forward Taiwo Awoniyi was available for the home side Nottingham Forest.

However, with the worry that ensued at the end of this game, the Red Devils picked up the three points as Manchester United prevailed in this tie.

As Isgoal.com outlines the possible lessons we’ve learnt from this game.

Another Clean Sheet

David de Gea was superb in between the sticks as Manchester United played away from home on Sunday.

And it was a profound result for the Red Devils side who needed the clean sheet to affirm their defensive awareness. The likes of Harry Maguire had one or two key moments in this match to take note in view of positional alertness.

But somehow they managed to prevent letting a goal in the contest.

First Premier League goal for a United defender

Manchester United would be pleased to get the job done away from home but it would be key to note that the match-winning goal came from Portuguese defender Diogo Dalot.

The talented Portuguese star was in the right position in the box, he controlled the ball with a great first touch, before firing past Veteran goalkeeper Keylor Navas into the goal.

It was a brilliant finish from Dalot as he marked his maiden Premier League goal to seal the win 0-2 for Manchester United.

Massive Response from Manchester United

The Red Devils had a torrid end of the game as Sevilla visited Old Trafford in the midweek. But the visitors were able to put up a solid display to pick up three points away on the road.

The side lost Marcus Rashford in the 2-2 draw at home against Sevilla. And with the euphoria of that slip-up draw in the Europa League pressure beckoned on the United players.

But somehow Anthony Martial and Brazil’s Antony combined to unsettle Forest’s defence as they took the lead in the first half of the match.
