"Until Forest scored twice inside 102 seconds at the beginning of the second half, United appeared in control courtesy of a Casemiro header at a corner, controversially awarded after Nicolo Savona was deemed by the officials to have failed to keep a Bruno Fernandes pass in play. In the end a stunning volley by Amad Diallo earned United a deserved point."
"Dyche's arrival was supposed to remedy Forest's vulnerability at set pieces. But six days after conceding directly from a corner in his first league game at Bournemouth, Forest conceded two more goals from corners. Regardless of whether the first goal came from a corner that was correctly awarded or not, Forest's defending was suspect."
"Fernandes arced his inswinging cross into the box and Casemiro rose unmarked, popping up behind the Forest substitute Ryan Yates, who had replaced the injured Douglas Luiz, and headed past Matz Sels. Forest have conceded a joint-league-high nine goals from set pieces this season and it turns out it is not a problem exclusive to Ange Postecoglou; his Forest side conceded 11 set-piece goals across his 40-day tenure."
