Taiwo Awoniyi’s third-minute opener had been cancelled out by Gus Hamer’s delightful strike
The last meeting between these sides, here 15 months ago, ended in a pitch invasion when Forest edged out United on penalties to advance to the Championship playoff final at Wembley at their expense.
Gibbs-White was involved in much of Forest’s good work, as was Aurier, who supplied Awoniyi for the striker to extend his prolific goalscoring run; dating back to last season, he has now scored in each of his past six league appearances. Brennan Johnson’s electric pace frightened United and he nudged the ball back for Aurier, whose first-time cross was inviting.
On 15 minutes Awoniyi surely would have converted another devilish cross from the right by Aurier, only for Ahmedhodzic to get a toe to the ball. Seven minutes into the second half Souza curled another right-foot shot narrowly wide of a post. United were a different proposition after the interval. Ahmedhodzic forced Worrall into a desperate block and Hamer’s equaliser was simply a thing of beauty.
