Diogo Dalot explains celebration with Antony after scoring in Manchester United win vs Nottingham Forest
16.04.2023 - 19:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Diogo Dalot reflected on the 'special' moment of his first Premier League goal and praised teammate Antony after Manchester United's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
United enjoyed a dominant win at the City Ground, with Dalot making it two on 76 minutes after Antony had opened the scoring in the first-half. Erik ten Hag's side were utterly dominant, enjoying 69% possession and 22 shots on goals while Forest failed to test David De Gea once.
A number of missed chances at 1-0 had some Reds fearing a sucker punch could come, but Dalot alleviated concerns with a calm finish after good work from Antony. The pair came together after the initial celebrations to shake hands, and Dalot praised his teammate for another solid performance.
RATINGS: Eriksen and Fernandes good in Forest win
"It was special, the moment of the goal was important as well, 2-0 made it more comfortable," Dalot told Sky Sports. "They were creating some chances, especially from corners which in the Premier League is always dangerous when your'e 1-0 up. It is always special to score for this club, but I'm more happy with the result."
And on his handshake celebration with Antony, the Reds defender added: "It's our little thing. He had a fantastic game as well. He is getting rewards from his effort all season."
Victory for United cements their place in the top-four, with the Reds now three points clear of both Newcastle and Tottenham who both lost on Saturday.
Ten Hag's side have a weekend away from league action to come, thanks to their FA Cup semi-final with Brighton. But with Tottenham and Newcastle meeting on the Sunday, at least one of their rivals will have to drop more points.
