Red Devils Get Tamed By Academy Product Anthony Elanga’s Sorcery: A blast from the past always hurts a little more. Manchester United fans would be thinking why did we let him go. Anthony Elanga, The boy has become a man now and he is balling in the Premier league. The latest victim of his sorcery is his boyhood club, Manchester United. 

Anthony Elanga, The boy has become a man now

Elanga is on 14g/a in 30 matches for Nottingham Forest and has been an amazing outlet of creativity, pace and skills for the team. His partnership with Hudson Odoi and Chris Wood upfront has been a revelation this season for Forest. All three forwards have hit the ground running and have been firing on all fronts. 

From finishing 17th last season to qualifying for the Champions league, It will be a ‘deja vu’

Nottingham Forest has been in great form this season and look to finish the season on a high with Champions League qualification looking a reality for the team.

From finishing 17th last season to qualifying for the Champions league, It will be a ‘deja vu’ feeling for the Forest fans who are living the dream again after their rich history from the 80s and 90s.

Nottingham Forest got Anthony Elanga for the nominal fee of €17.50 million

The sole goal that was scored by Anthony Elanga in the 5th minute was scored from a counter attack which saw the Swedish international run alone with the ball for more than 85 metres and bury the ball into the side netting.

Elanga decided to not celebrate after scoring the goal, to respect the United fan’s travelling for the match but he would have liked the sweet taste of revenge after the club decided that he was not good enough and was transferred to Nottingham Forest for the nominal fee of €17.50 million. 

Murillo’s heroics denied any access to the goal

The other moment that Forest may look back on as pivotal if they go on to earn a place in the Champions League, arrived six minutes and 18 seconds into stoppage time. Harry Maguire, thrown up front as an unconventional striker, prodded the ball goalwards but Murillo hacked it off the line with almost the last kick of the game.

This was the only moment Manchester United looked like they could equalise but Murillo’s heroics denied any access to the goal.
