Antony (Real Betis)
September 2025
Antony salvaged Real Betis with an equaliser in the 85th minute to secure a 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest in the Europa League. Earlier, he assisted Cedric Bakambu for the opener, but Forest had surged ahead through Igor Jesus’ brace. Antony, fresh from a permanent move from Manchester United, showcased his creativity and composure. Forest, returning to Europe after nearly three decades, collapsed under late pressure. Joe Cole highlighted Forest’s lack of composure, warning they must improve mentality to avoid squandering key results.
