Swede strike: Nuno hails 'special' Elanga

Pacey winger's length-of-the-pitch wonder goal stuns Manchester United

NOTTINGHAM, England — Nuno Espirito Santo hailed Anthony Elanga after the "special" Nottingham Forest winger's wonder goal sealed a 1-0 win against Manchester United on Tuesday.

Elanga sprinted 85 meters in just nine seconds in a blistering solo effort that carried him from deep inside the Forest half to the edge of the United area.

The Swede, who was sold by United in 2023 after being deemed surplus to requirements, capped his electric surge by drilling a cool finish past Andre Onana to put Forest on course for victory at the City Ground.
