Man Utd 3 Nottm Forest 2 — Why was Cunha goal allowed? Fernandes equals Premier League assist record

Bruno Fernandes equalled the all-time Premier League assists record as Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 on Sunday  — but there was a controversial handball decision in the build-up to Matheus Cunha’s goal.Cunha slotted home in the 55th minute to put United 2-1 up after Bryan Mbeumo appeared to handle the ball before it came to the Brazil international. Referee Michael Salisbury was sent to the VAR monitor after initially allowing the goal to stand. And, despite Gary Neville calling it a “no-brainer” of a handball on Sky Sports, Salisbury rejected the recommendation to rule out the goal and judged the offence to have been “accidental”.Advertisement
