Wan-Bissaka tries to cut the ball back into the box but Niakhate does well to prevent a cross and also win a goal kick for his side.

It's another enticing delivery from the Forest corner and again it is aimed at the far post. McKenna rises highest and gets his head on it but can't quite direct it on target.

Maguire recovers well on the spin and clears the ball out for a corner as Awoniyi looks to latch onto Lodi's pass into the right channel.

Fernandes has been the best player on the pitch so far and he delivers another tempting low cross into the box. Martial can't divert it goalwards at the near post and no United player gambles on it at the back stick.

Forest go straight up the other end and win a corner. It's a crowded six-yard box and the ball ricochets off the arm of Maguire before Johnson fails to turn home the loose ball. There's a VAR check but no penalty is given.

SAVE!! The first big chance falls to United but it's a great save by Navas. The home side's midfield is nowhere to be seen and United drive through the middle of the pitch. Antony can't get a shot of with his left foot but the lose ball bounces to Fernandes whose half-volley is caught clean but denied by the strong right hand of Navas.
