Forest only needed 91 seconds to shed first blood, as Nikola Milenkovic butted a powerful header beyond the reach of a helpless Onana from a corner kick.
The visitors’ lead didn’t last too long as Rasmus Hojlund restored the lead after Alejandro Garnacho’s shot was parried to his feet by Matz Sels.
Forest came out firing at the start of the second half, with Morgan Gibbs-White lashing a shot at a bamboozled Onana, who bizarrely fluffed his lines and could only watch as the ball trickled past him. Moments later, Chris Wood doubled Forest’s advantage as he sent a looping header over the Cameroonian goalkeeper and a host of United defenders.
