EPL: Man Utd beaten by Forest after Chelsea overcome Luton in thriller

Manchester United were stunned by Nottingham Forest as they fell to a 2-1 defeat in a Premier League encounter on Saturday night.

The Red Devils had sealed an incredible win in their last game as they came from behind to beat Aston Villa 3-2.

But Forest seemed too much for the side, with Morgan Gibbs-White scoring an 82nd-minute winner to secure all three points for the hosts.

Nicolas Dominguez had opened the scoring after a goalless first half before Marcus Rashford thought he had rescued a point for the visitors with an equaliser.

It was United’s 14th defeat of a dreadful campaign, their most before the end of a year since 1930-31.

Earlier at the weekend, champions Manchester City defeated Sheffield United 2-0, Wolverhampton Wanderers thrashed Everton 3-0, and Crystal Palace beat Brentford 3-1.

Much earlier, Chelsea and Luton Town played a five-goal thrilling encounter, with Chelsea securing the 3-2 victory. Elsewhere, Aston Villa defeated Burnley 3-2.
