Amad Diallo’s Stunning Volley Rescues Point for Manchester United in 2-2 Draw at Nottingham Forest

Fola Badmus03 mins

Amad Diallo’s spectacular late volley salvaged a point for Manchester United in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, ending United’s three-game winning streak in the Premier League. With nine minutes remaining and Forest on course for victory, Diallo pounced on a loose header from Nikola Milenkovic to unleash a thunderous left-foot strike into the top corner. The Ivorian winger almost snatched all three points deep into stoppage time, but his effort was blocked on the line by Murillo. United had earlier taken the lead in controversial fashion when Casemiro headed home from a corner that replays showed should not have been awarded. The ball appeared not to have crossed the line before going out of play, prompting widespread frustration among Forest players and supporters. Former Premier League referee Mike Dean weighed in on the incident during Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday, saying: “It’s not out. The ball is nowhere near out. It’s just a guess by the referee.” The controversy deepened Forest’s sense of grievance, having conceded a similar goal from an incorrect corner decision against Bournemouth the previous weekend. Spurred by that sense of injustice, Forest came alive after the break. Morgan Gibbs-White levelled with a fine header three minutes into the second half before Nicolo Savona, the player controversially judged unable to keep the ball in play for Casemiro’s opener, bundled in Forest’s second to complete a quickfire turnaround. Bruno Fernandes struck the post as United pushed for an equaliser, but Forest threatened to extend their lead, with Igor Jesus heading wide and Callum Hudson-Odoi flashing a shot just past the post. However, Diallo’s late brilliance ensured Erik ten Hag’s side avoided defeat, though they missed the chance to climb into second place in the Premier League table. United now sit fifth. Forest, still winless under new boss Sean Dyche, showed resilience and attacking intent but remain 18th in the standings, a reminder that while performances are improving, results are still needed to escape the drop zone.

Amad Diallo’s Brilliant Volley Earns Manchester United 2-2 Draw Against Nottingham Forest

Wale busari03 mins

Amad Diallo struck a sensational 81st-minute volley to secure Manchester United a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest in a pulsating Premier League clash at the City Ground. United had taken control in the first half when Casemiro rose highest to head home from a corner, though Forest players protested the decision, insisting the ball should not have gone out for a corner in the first place. The goal seemed to set Ruben Amorim’s men on course for a fourth consecutive victory and a move up to second in the table. But the home side flipped the script early in the second half. Morgan Gibbs-White powered his way past Amad to connect with Ryan Yates’ deep cross, heading Forest level. Just two minutes later, more trouble came for United when another cross from the right caused confusion in the box. Igor Jesus’ header deflected into a crowd of players, and Nicolo Savona reacted quickest to slot calmly past Sanne Lammens, putting Forest 2-1 ahead. United refused to collapse. Bruno Fernandes came agonizingly close when his low drive struck the base of the post. Moments later, Amad pounced on a looping clearance outside the area and unleashed a thunderous first-time volley that flew past Matz Sels to bring United level again. The Ivorian winger almost turned hero deep into stoppage time, but his close-range effort was dramatically cleared off the line by Murillo, denying United what would have been a stunning comeback win. Despite missing out on victory, the performance showed United’s growing resilience under Amorim, with Amad’s late brilliance ensuring they left Nottingham with a valuable point.

Arsenal sweep aside Ange's Forest with convincing win

Arsenal Sweep Aside Ange’s Forest with Convincing Win

Fola Badmus02 mins

Arsenal cruised to a comfortable victory over Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest, delivering a performance that reflected just how well their summer signings have settled in. It wasn’t just the goals from Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyökeres that caught the eye. At the back, Cristhian Mosquera was rock-solid once again, showing composure and control in a performance that made William Saliba’s absence barely noticeable for the second match running. Further forward, Arsenal’s attacking shape looked refreshed and dangerous. Noni Madueke was sharp and direct on the right wing, while Eberechi Eze offered equal threat on the left — a far cry from last season when the Gunners leaned heavily on Bukayo Saka for attacking inspiration. The new front three of Eze, Gyökeres, and Madueke gives Mikel Arteta tactical flexibility and genuine depth in attack. With Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard only needed for late cameos, Arsenal’s squad strength is starting to show — even amid a handful of injuries. It’s early days, but this performance suggests Arsenal are not only stronger but more balanced across the pitch. The signs are promising, and the new arrivals are already delivering.

I’m with you all the way and I can’t wait to be back out there with the boys doing what I love. “To my family, friends and football fans, thank you for the support, and to everyone back home in Nigeria who has checked in on me, prayed for me and left kind words, thank you. “I see them. I feel them. And I carry them with me every day as I recover.”

Newcastle and Aston Villa Surge as Spurs Nottingham Forest Tumble in Final Premier League Rankings

Fola Badmus03 mins

As the curtain falls on the 2024–25 Premier League season, ESPN’s final power rankings have revealed major shifts across the table, with Newcastle United and Aston Villa emerging as the biggest winners, while Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest suffer significant drops in form and standing. Newcastle United completed a remarkable campaign, finishing 3rd in the league and securing their highest position in years. Under manager Eddie Howe, the Magpies also lifted the EFL Cup— their first major domestic silverware in seven decades. Striker Alexander Isak starred with 23 league goals, helping to power the team’s charge into the UEFA Champions League. Aston Villa also impressed, climbing steadily throughout the season to secure European qualification. Their consistent performances and tactical discipline saw them rise in ESPN’s power rankings, earning praise for squad balance and resilience. On the other end of the spectrum, Tottenham Hotspur endured a late-season collapse. Once viewed as top-four contenders, Spurs fell out of European spots altogether after a string of poor results, including a heavy 5–1 loss to Liverpool. Analysts point to squad inconsistency and depth issues as key factors behind the slump. Nottingham Forest, who had surged early in the season with eye-catching victories— including a record 7–0 win over Brighton— also faltered down the stretch. While they still managed a 7th-place finish and secured European football for the first time in nearly three decades, the steep fall from early promise raised concerns about squad durability and long-term competitiveness. The final power rankings reflect a season marked by dramatic turns in fortune. ESPN analysts noted that nearly every team experienced periods of both brilliance and struggle, underscoring the Premier League’s status as one of the most unpredictable competitions in world football.

Fola Badmus02 mins

Taiwo Awoniyi is expected to stay in the hospital for another five days after having emergency surgery on an abdominal injury, Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo said Friday. The Nigeria striker had two operations to repair internal damage after he collided with a post during the 2-2 draw with Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday. He was placed in an induced coma to aid his recovery but is now awake and talking with his family, Britain’s Press Association reported. Espirito Santo said he hopes Awoniyi will be able to attend the final game of the season – against Chelsea on May 25. “He went to surgery – surgery went well,” Espirito Santo said. “He is under observation now, but he is recovering. We still have to wait for the doctors to allow visits. We are concerned but it is positive. It has been very difficult because of the concern of the injury, the situation he went through.” “I hope,” he added, “that next week he can join us and be around because he´s a wonderful boy.” Seventh-place Forest is one point off the top five in its bid for Champions League qualification and travels to West Ham on Sunday.

Ola Aina: Offside Flag Could Have Prevented Awoniyi Injury

Fola Badmus03 mins

Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina has said the injury that saw teammate Taiwo Awoniyi placed in an induced coma could have been avoided if the the offside flag had gone up in time. The incident in question took place in the closing stages of Forest’s 2-2 draw against Leicester City, where Awoniyi clattered against the post. The forward finished the game despite being in significant pain and sources told ESPN he later underwent “urgent” surgery on an abdominal injury and was placed in a coma to aid recovery. Awoniyi collided with the post in an attempt to get on the end of a cross from Anthony Elanga. The winger had strayed offside in the buildup but as per protocol, the assistant referee only raised his flag once the play was done. “Anthony was miles offside. The whole world could see and so could I from where I was,” Aina told the Daily Mail. “You think ‘offside’ straight away. Surely you could just lift the flag up? Personally I liked how it was back in the day when for offside they just put it up straight away. “A simple decision and get on with the game. Having to see it out and then just see this happen … well none of this would have happened to T [Awoniyi] if the flag had just gone up would it?” In the aftermath of the game, Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis stormed onto the pitch and remonstrated with manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Forest later released a statement explaining that the owner’s emotional reaction was due to seeing Awoniyi in immense pain and his frustration at the medical staff for letting him continue the game.
