  • Diogo Dalot performed an unusual celebration after scoring his first-ever Premier League goal
  • Manchester United is now third on the log thanks to a convincing win over Nottingham Forest
  • United went three points clear of Newcastle United as the top four race continues heating up

Diogo Dalot came up with a cool celebration to mark his first-ever Premier League goal, as Manchester United sank Nottingham Forest to move to third on the log.

United were thoroughly dominant against the hosts at the City Ground and deservedly took the lead through Antony in the 32nd minute.

The Brazilian stabbed home his goal after Keylor Navas had initially kept out Anthony Martial.

For the second goal, Antony turned provider as a blistering run saw him split the Forest defence with a precise pass which found Dalot, who made no mistake against Navas.

It was a goal that clearly meant a lot for the Portuguese star, who ran to the corner flag in excitement and performed five different celebrations.

He started by ironically checking his pulse, before sprinting to the Manchester United fans. A handshake with Anthony soon ensued and the two posed for a few seconds in a completely different celebration.

As he walked back into position, he performed a ‘C’ gesture and fans were completely in awe at the left-back's display of what the moment meant to him.

Dalot made his Premier League debut as far back as 2018 and never found the net until five years later. It should be no wonder then that he had so many celebrations in his locker.

Free-flowing United move to third

As far as the game went, United’s dominance and transformation under Erik ten Hag manifested itself once again, Sports Brief reported.

Notably, despite Antony starring for his team, it was Christian Eriksen - recently back from injury - who was the true engine of the team's true engine.

The Dane, who started his first match for United since January after Marcel Sabitzer picked up an injury, partnered with Bruno Fernandes.
