It turned into a very good weekend for Manchester United.
Once noticeable feature during Erik ten Hag's first season is that his team respond well to adversity in a way they simply didn't under his predecessors.
After their nightmare collapse against Sevilla on Thursday night - two shambolic late goals conceded, two troubling injuries to key defenders - they roared back to form with a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
It was one of their most complete performances of the season and, coupled with defeats for both Newcastle and Tottenham the day before, strengthened their grip on a top four place.
