Goals from Antony and Diogo Dalot either side of halftime gave Manchester United an easy 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at City Ground.
Arsenal dropped vital points in the title race after a pulsating 2-2 draw with West Ham, that saw a two-goal lead blown, a penalty opportunity spurned and David Moyes' men defend valiantly for 45 minutes.
How it happened
After some end-to-end stuff to start the game, Manchester United settled quicker, and they came close to taking the lead when Bruno Fernandes’ thunderous effort was turned away by Keylor Navas.
Forest took slightly longer to find their rhythm, but when they did they came even closer than their Champions League spot-chasing visitors, with Scott McKenna’s effort crashing back off the post.
The home side were soon made to pay for that missed opportunity when some poor defending allowed Anthony Martial the freedom to fire an effort goalwards, which was tapped home on the rebound by the onrushing Antony.
Taiwo Awoniyi should have equalised for the home side but he failed to take advantage of an easy opportunity from 12 yards, instead sending the ball over.
Second half - Man United put game to bed
United continued to mount pressure on the Forest goal and Christian Eriksen’s effort was beaten away by Navas.
However, Antony turned provider to thread a ball through for Diogo Dalot to slot home on his 100th Manchester United appearance.
