Manchester United fans lauded defender Lisandro Martinez after the Argentine put his head on the line to ensure a Nottingham Forest player wasn't able to take a shot on goal.
The Reds centre-back started alongside Victor Lindelof on Wednesday night as Erik ten Hag's men secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over their Premier League rivals at the City Ground. United's convincing first-leg victory all-but sees them into the Carabao Cup final, with the second leg at Old Trafford to come next week.
Marcus Rashford, Wout Weghorst and Bruno Fernandes were all on the scoresheet for the away side as Ten Hag's side recorded their sixth clean sheet in the last 10 matches.
