Ivorian’s stunning volley rescues a draw for the Red Devils after a dramatic second-half turnaround at the City Ground.
In a match of wild momentum swings, Manchester United had to settle for a hard-fought point at Nottingham Forest, rescued by a moment of brilliance from Amad after a shocking defensive collapse.
The visitors seemed in control, taking a first-half lead through a powerful Casemiro header from a controversially awarded corner that left Forest manager Sean Dyche fuming on the touchline. The Brazilian’s return to form has been central to United’s recent resurgence, and his goal sent the Red Devils into the break with a comfortable lead.
However, the game flipped on its head in a disastrous two-minute spell for United after halftime. Forest roared back, first exploiting a height mismatch as Morgan Gibbs-White rose above Amad to head home an equalizer. Before United could regroup, the home side struck again, with Nicolo Savona pouncing on a loose ball in the box to complete a rapid turnaround and send the City Ground into a frenzy.
The comeback exposed the fine margins of United’s system, with Amad’s attacking prowess on the right wing coming at a potential defensive cost. The absence of the aerially dominant Harry Maguire was keenly felt, as the young Leny Yoro, starting in his place, struggled with the physical demands of the frantic encounter.
Just as United’s winning run seemed to be ending, Amad delivered a moment of pure quality to atone for his defensive involvement. With ten minutes left, a cleared corner fell to him on the edge of the area, and he unleashed a spectacular, technically perfect volley that flew into the net, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance.
United pushed desperately for a winner, with Amad even seeing a late effort cleared off the line, but in the end, they were likely relieved to leave with a point after a true Premier League battle.
