Forest Held by Manchester United as Diallo Volley Denies Dyche First League Win

The draw highlighted Forest’s persistent set‑piece frailty, prompting Dyche to stress a long rebuild.

Overview

  • Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 with Manchester United at the City Ground, scoring twice in 102 seconds before Amad Diallo’s late volley leveled the match.
  • The point is Forest’s first in the league under Sean Dyche, yet they remain in the relegation zone and are still seeking a second Premier League win of the season.
  • Casemiro’s opener followed a corner Forest argue should not have been awarded, with Dyche calling for the ability to overrule such errors that current VAR protocols cannot review.
  • Set-piece vulnerabilities persisted, with Forest among the league’s worst for goals conceded from dead balls as Dyche labeled the turnaround a “big job” and a process.
  • Morgan Gibbs-White clarified his recent “breathe again” remark referred to relief after the Europa League win over Porto, as Forest now juggle a trip to Sturm Graz before hosting Leeds.
