in

With eight competitive matches left before the end of this season’s Premier League, only a miracle could prevent Nottingham Forest from securing a spot in next season’s Champions League. Nottingham Forest secured a significant home win against Manchester United with a 1-0 score, achieving a perfect 2/2 record in their recent ‘battles’ with the ‘Red Devils’ in the Premier League. This crucial three points kept them at -4 from second-placed Arsenal and +8 from fourth-placed Chelsea, which currently holds the final Champions League qualifying position (Chelsea hosts Tottenham on Monday). The home team took the lead at the 5th minute through Anthony Elanga. The Swedish winger took possession in his own half, ran the length of the field, and sent the ball into the back of De Gea’s net from inside the box. Manchester United pressed for an equalizer, with their best chance coming in the 28th minute via Dalot’s attempt, which hit the crossbar. Match results from the 30th round include: Wolves – West Ham 1-0 (21′ Larsson), Arsenal – Fulham 2-1 (37′ Maitland-Niles, 73′ Saka – 90+4′ Munees), Nottingham – Manchester United 1-0 (5′ Elanga). Upcoming fixtures are scheduled as follows: 02/04 21:45 Southampton – Crystal Palace, Bournemouth – Ipswich, Brighton – Aston Villa, Newcastle – Brentford, Manchester City – Leicester, Liverpool – Everton on 02/04 22:00, and Chelsea – Tottenham on 03/04 22:00.
