Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as the Reds suffer defeat at Manchester United after being 2-0 up
Martin Keown has criticised the decision to award Manchester United a penalty in their 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Reds led 2-0 at Old Trafford as they threatened a stunning upset against a team who were unbeaten in 30 matches at home. Goals from Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly had Forest fans dreaming of just a second Premier League away win since their promotion from the Championship in 2022. But the hosts battled back as Christian Eriksen and Casemiro struck to make it 2-2. Forest captain Joe Worrall was then sent off but the contentious decision came after a penalty was awarded and converted when United forward Marcus Rashford went down in the penalty area off the back of a challenge from Forest's Danilo.
And Keown was left perplexed by the decision to award a spot-kick. He accused Rashford of diving and questioned why VAR did not intervene.
"It's a dive. It's a blatant dive from Rashford. Any contact is from when Rashford brings his leg up as he dives."
