Diallo stunner saves Man United 2-2 draw at City Ground


Amad Diallo starred as Manchester United earned a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, ending the Red Devils' three-match winning streak.

With United trailing and nine minutes remaining, Diallo fired a superb left-footed volley from the edge of the box after Nikola Milenkovic's header fell into his path.

The Ivorian winger almost snatched the win in stoppage time, but his close-range effort was cleared off the line by Murillo.

United had taken the lead through Casemiro's first-half header, but Forest, who had not scored a league goal since 20 September, counter-attacked with two quick goals after the break. Morgan Gibbs-White scored the equalizer in the 48th minute, with Nicolo Savona scoring moments later.

However, Diallo's late strike ensured Ruben Amorim's side escaped with a point, maintaining their recent revival under the Portuguese coach.

There were positives for Sean Dyche's Forest despite remaining in the relegation zone, four points adrift of safety.
