Bruno Fernandes came to Manchester United's rescue as Erik ten Hag's team completed a 3-2 comeback win after conceding twice inside the opening four minutes against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Saturday.
The home crowd were stunned after two minutes when Taiwo Awoniyi ran through to put Forest ahead and were left shell-shocked two minutes later when unmarked Willy Boly headed in a second.
Christian Eriksen then began the comeback after 17 minutes when he slotted in Marcus Rashford's cross.
Casemiro levelled from close range in the 52nd minute before Forest were reduced to 10 men when Joe Worrall was red-carded for hauling down Fernandes.
Rashford then went down in the area after slight contact from Danilo and Fernandes stepped up to convert the penalty.
The new United captain was criticised for his body language in defeat at Tottenham, but Fernandes rose to the challenge on Saturday.
"It wasn't the perfect start for us but we kept control, kept the ball and started doing the right things," said Fernandes.
"The team showed great spirit, passion and desire. We just need to be aware that we can't concede so early."
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper said his players gave it their all.
"We gave everything, that’s for sure. The start was a bit of an obscure one. You plan to start well but we didn’t think we’d start as well as that. It set the tone for the whole game," he told BBC Match of the Day.
"I’m not going to overegg a defeat too much, but at the same time you have to look a bit deeper than a result. It’s still a loss, though, and we have to turn it around if we can."

Conflict, drought, famine
Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.
Band Aid
Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.
