The loss of four points drops Forest into relegation zone Nottingham Forest have been penalised with a deduction of four points for violating the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations.  An independent commission discovered that the club's losses for the period until 2022-23 exceeded the £61m threshold by £34.5m. As a result, Forest have dropped into the Premier League's relegation zone, falling below Luton Town. Forest are the second team in the Premier League to be punished for breaching the Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) after Everton's loss of 10 points in November.  This was later reduced to six upon appeal. The City Ground club, who are likely to appeal against the ruling, had their hearing on 7-8 March. What are the Profit and Sustainability Regulations? According to the rules and regulations, Premier League clubs can lose up to £105m over three seasons (£35m per campaign). However, Forest's maximum loss was limited to £61m

Is this a harsh decision? Nottingham Forest have confirmed manager Steve Cooper has been sacked. The announcement that Cooper has been dismissed has come after Forest lost five of their past six games. Forest have won once in 13 Premier League games and taken eight points in that time. They are currently 17th in the Premier League.  They have also picked up just one point from their last six games and are five points ahead of third-bottom Luton, who have a match in hand. A statement on the Forest website reads Cooper departs The City Ground having played an integral part in Forest’s return to the Premier League, cementing himself firmly into the Club’s rich history after guiding The Reds back into England’s top-flight. Appointed as head coach in September 2021, Steve galvanised Forest’s extraordinary rise up the Championship table and into the play-offs, culminating in a memorable win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium in May 2022. He then went on to manage the team for 55 m

Casemiro then missed a clear opportunity to score when he headed wide of an open net before halftime.  However, he later made amends by equalizing for United.

After what must have seemed like an age as he paced up and down his technical area, waiting for seven minutes of injury time to pass and the loss of goalkeeper Keylor Navas in the very last seconds, Forest boss Steve Cooper was able to celebrate survival.

 Nottingham Forest 0 - 2 Manchester United Manchester United gave their Champions League hopes a huge lift.  Antony scored and set up a Diogo Dalot goal to lead their injury-hit side to a 2-0 victory at Nottingham Forest on Sunday as Erik ten Hag's side climbed to third place. Man United have 59 points from 30 games, three points in front of fourth-placed Newcastle and six ahead of Spurs. A closer look at how United took home the three points. Alongside Bruno Fernandes, Eriksen helped United dominate the first half with Jadon Sancho and Fernandes having early chances. After Antony's opener, it took an inspired performance from Navas and some wasteful finishing to keep Forest in the match. Fernandes saw his free header sail just wide on the stroke of half-time and then the Portuguese midfielder had a curling effort tipped onto the post by Navas after the restart. This win was the perfect response to United's disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Sevilla in the Europa League.
