Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim bemoaned a "lack of quality in the final third" when speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, comparing his side's failure to take their chances with Anthony Elanga's darting run and clinical finish for Nottingham Forest:

"We have to think about the goal that we suffered. We know Nottingham is really good on transitions, can score goals from nothing. With us suffering the first goal we put Nottingham in a position that they want - defending with a lot of men and [attacking] in transitions.

"During the game I felt we were lacking quality in the final third and that is really important in the team when we need to win games.

"If you look at the game, we are improving in the way we play football, creating more chances, we are dominating more games, but, in the end, when we don't win, you feel that."

Anthony Elanga was the most dangerous player on the pitch. Every time he got on it [the ball] the crowd got to the edge of their seat. He was ghosting past players.

It's incredible to think that Manchester United sold him for £12m. You look at how toothless at times the United attacking line was and the fact they had to bring Harry Maguire on in forward areas. To say that they let him go is absolutely incredible.

It's an incredible piece of business by Forest because he was the best player on the pitch tonight.

Everyone's buzzing - it's a really good feeling and things are just going from strength to strength.

You can really see the togetherness in and around the place. We're not there yet, but if you look at the table, there's seven games and you can almost taste it.

Looking at the fixtures ahead, there's not too many big challenges. The pathway is there and they just need to stay focused and not get carried away.

It's completely surprised everyone that they're in this position - but deservedly so.

The goal was incredible, it really was. You just see where Anthony Elanga gets it - it breaks from a corner and he gets it probably 10-15 yards outside his own box and he just opens up them legs.

He's so quick, his athletic ability is incredible. He steps away, he's strong as well, he pushes Alejandro Garnacho off and then the Manchester United defenders keep backing off and they let him come on.

Morgan Gibbs-White is on the outside, he doesn't take him because he doesn't need it and slots it home with his left foot. It's a brilliant goal.

He travelled 85 metres with the ball and nobody could catch him. A really incredible goal. I felt he was the best player on the pitch.

Wes Morgan

Anthony Elanga must be one of the fastest in the Premier League and his goal justifies his pace and his confidence he has at the moment because even when he ran through, I was expecting him to pass it but in his mind he knew he was going to take the shot and he scored.

Just the way Forest play, it plays right into their hand, having the opposition have all the possession and then just counter attacking with the pace and the skill that they have.

Everyone's buzzing, it's a really good feeling. Things are just going from strength to strength, semi-final in the FA Cup as well. The team's performance on the pitch has been fantastic, you see the togetherness in and around the Forest training ground, the smiles from everybody. Everyone is just wanting to push the team as far as they can, support them however they can and see how far Forest can go.

Nuno Espirito Santo does his job, he comes in. He's not rustling any feathers or trying to re-invent the wheel, he knows what he's got and he's just working a team to the best of their strengths. That's the best way I can describe it.

On Champions League football: Yeah absolutely, it's gone from strength to strength. We're not there yet but if we look at the table, seven games to go, you can almost taste it. The pathway is there. They just need to stay focused.

There's still a lot of work to do and the kind of noises I get around the training ground are very much that it's one game at a time. If you take your eye of the next game and don't prepare properly then anybody can hurt you.

You could see that coming into the game, it was tough after playing 120 minutes against Brighton with a lot of recovery and preparation involved but Nuno made some really good changes in game. He replaced players at the right time and gave Forest a real good platform to hold out and win a massive three points.

When you think back to Forest being promoted three years ago, the turnover in players has been massive. The squad has evolved really nicely and the recruitment over the last two years has been very well thought through.

To get into the Champions League and hold onto your top players is obviously massive but the income that it generates and being able to invest again also is. The owner is very ambitious and wants to have top level success. He puts his money where his mouth is but with the financial rules you have to back it up with income.

It's going to be very interesting to see where this journey takes us and it's so exciting for the Forest fans who for so many years have had it really tough. They can enjoy it and their proud to come and support their team.

Nottingham Forest

Let's get some more reaction now to last night's game at City Ground, where Nottingham Forest beat Manchester United thanks to a brilliant individual goal by Anthony Elanga.

There is plenty more dissection in the United autopsy still to come - but we must give Forest their flowers, as a quite remarkable Champions League qualification moves a step closer...

Gabriel Martinelli speaking after Arsenal's 2-1 win against Fulham: "I think we deserved the win, we suffered a bit in the end. I don't think we needed to suffer with that goal, we conceded a goal but we managed to win the game and that is the most important part."

On Bukayo Saka's return: "We know how good he is and how important he is for our team. He's one of the captains as well, we trust him so much. I am really happy for him, it's good to have him back and we are lucky to have him."

On what it is like to be injured: "It's not really good, we prefer to be on the pitch playing and helping the team but I think we need to improve things when we get injured and he [Saka] did it and we are happy to have him back."

"We are going to try and win the Premier League as well, we have a big one coming up against Real Madrid also. We are going to try to win the games and try to win something, a title."

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Bukayo Saka's return: "It was a great moment, the way everyone reacted to him, showing him that level of love, respect, admiration, it was beautiful to watch. The reason for it is because how Bukayo is as a person especially.

"The reaction he had straight away after scoring, to go to the physios and sport science guys and say thank you for everything they've done for him in the last four months. It shows the person. It's impossible not to love him."

We think [Bukayo Saka] came through unscathed which is massive, especially since he's been out for so long. He just brings a different energy to the team, he brings a different dimension to them. He makes players better around him, every time he gets the ball, there's an anticipation around him in the stadium. He just knows where to be and what to do. He just brings something special to Arsenal, he's one of their own. The introduction he got and the reception he got, it was extra special.

A grade one hamstring injury - a mild tear or pull - is two to five days.

Grade two - a partial tear - up to a month.

Grade three - a complete tear - you are looking at months out.

That's a rough, broad stroke of a quick assessment of a hamstring injury.

Gabriel Magalhaes was not the only injury concern for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, with Netherlands defender Jurrien Timber also limping off with a knee injury.

Timber, 23, missed his entire first season with the club due to an ACL injury after signing from Ajax in July 2023, but has played 41 times this campaign.

"The downside to that is Gabi and Jurrien, we don't know how they're going to be," said Arteta after Tuesday's 2-1 win at home to Fulham.

"We'll be assessing them tomorrow [Wednesday] and understand better how we are with those two."

The injury problems are piling up for Arteta, who also lost defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White in the build-up to the victory over the Cottagers.

Arteta added: "Ben White hasn't participated at all this season, it's what it is. You can imagine, we've lost four players in the defensive line in one week - Calafiori, White, Jurrien and Gabi. [But] we have still another four that are so willing that they will do their job."

Arsenal

The Gunners face a hectic few weeks, with key games in the Premier League run-in and a Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid this month:

• 5 Apr: Everton (a)
• 8 Apr: Real Madrid (h - Champions League quarter-final first leg)
• 12 Apr: Brentford (h)
• 16 Apr: Real Madrid (a - Champions League quarter-final second leg)
• 20 Apr: Ipswich (a)

In that phase of play a ball was played through and he [Gabriel Magalhaes] tried to get across. With his injury he couldn't really open his legs up or gain any momentum and it didn't look good.

I know at that point he was probably protecting himself, knowing in his mind what is coming. But early thoughts are that he won't be available for that Madrid game.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta told BBC Radio 5 Live, after Tuesday's win over Fulham, that it was too early to hypothesise on the reasons behind Gabriel Magalhaes injury, with the exact nature and severity of the problem still to be assessed by the team's medical staff.

But after Gabriel stayed in the UK over the recent international break, sitting out Brazil's latest round of World Cup qualifiers, he believed it was wrong to suggest his injury could have been caused by workload.

"I don't know, we have to investigate a lot because Gabi only had one incident since he has been with us and he didn't play with his national team, so he had a period where you could say that we offload him and want to recover him," said Arteta.

"So very difficult to put something specific to give you the right reason."

Arsenal's problems with hamstring injuries this season are well documented, with Kai Havertz's season-ending injury prompting a closer inspection into the issue to asses whether it was a Premier League-wide problem.

A Guardian report, external at the start of March focused on figures from the Premier Injuries website, which showed that, up to game week 26, 100 of the 418 injuries suffered by Premier League players this season had been related to hamstrings (24%). That was slightly down from the 120 from 457 (26%) at the same stage last year.

However, the data also showed that hamstring injuries are keeping players out for longer.

Of those 100 injuries this season, nine kept a player out for up to 13 days, 40 for 14 to 30 days, and 51 led to more than 30 days on the sidelines. Of last season's 120 hamstring injuries, 49 led to absences of more than 30 days.

The key question is whether the increased intensity of the Premier League schedule has had anything to do with the rise of hamstring injuries.
