Forest signed off for 2023 with a 2-1 win at home to Manchester United at The City Ground.
After a fiery first half, Forest broke the deadlock on the hour when Gonzalo Montiel pulled the ball back for Nico Domínguez to sweep into the bottom far corner.
United found a response on 78 minutes when Alejandro Garnacho squared for Marcus Rashford to find the bottom corner to bring Erik ten Hag’s side level.
But Forest found a late winner just four minutes later. Ryan Yates led the counter-attack before finding Anthony Elanga who pulled the ball back for Morgan Gibbs-White to hammer home an effort.
After 10 minutes of added time, Matt Turner produced an excellent save to keep out Bruno Fernandes’ volley from a corner.
The full-time whistle blew, with Forest recording back-to-back wins over the festive period heading into the New Year.
