Lineker Praises Promising Manchester United Star
Gary Lineker expressed a different view from Gary Neville by praising Manchester United forward Benjamin Sesko. Despite the team only securing one point in their recent match against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest, Lineker remained impressed with United's attacking players.
Match Overview at City Ground
Ruben Amorim kept the same starting lineup that had recently defeated Brighton & Hove Albion 4-2, hoping to extend their winning streak to four games. Casemiro opened the scoring in the 34th minute from a controversial corner, which Forest contested, claiming the ball had not fully crossed the line before the set piece was awarded. United capitalized on this opportunity.
Forest responded as Morgan Gibbs-White equalized 14 minutes later, followed by Nicolò Savona giving the hosts the lead early in the second half. United managed to equalize in the 81st minute with an impressive volley from Amad. The match ended 2-2, with both sides sharing the points.
