Antonio Elanga's growth is unusual.

Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 in the 21st round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at The City Ground in Nottingham, England on the 15th (Korea time). Nottingham finished second in the league behind Liverpool with one more point.

It was Elanga who changed the course of the game early. Elanga, who received Callum Hudson-Odoi's pass in the 8th minute of the first half, stabbed Chris Wood properly. Wood penetrated Alisson Becker with a superbly dug in and shot to the corner.

Wood also shines, but Elanga's recent upturn is really scary. Elanga has scored an offensive point in the last six consecutive league games with this help. The purity of the attack point is great. Starting with a theater goal just before the end of the match against Aston Villa, he scored in three consecutive games with an additional goal against Brentford and the final goal against Tottenham.

He helped Wood's winning goal against Everton, and Morgan Gibbs White's winning goal in the 7th minute of the first half against Wolverhampton just before. Elanga, who also showed a fantastic pass against Liverpool. Wood, whose heyday has come, is also scary, but Elanga is showing the second most destructive image after Wood.

No one could have imagined Elanga would lead the season's greatest upset with such a good performance at Nottingham. Originally, Elanga is a prospect who grew up at Manchester United. He had fast speed, but his potential in Manchester United's first team lacked something.

Eventually, they lost their place in Manchester United's first team, and Elanga was sold to Nottingham in the summer of 2023. Elanga tried to prove United's decision wrong. He is actively working after building his own strength, speed, by adding more muscles. Last season, he led Nottingham to stay with five goals and nine assists in 36 games.

There were some ups and downs in the first half of this season, but it has been revived since December and has been exploding for six consecutive games. When Elanga burst, Nottingham's rise became more pronounced, and five wins and one mura in the last six games have been fantastic. Thanks to this, Nottingham are really in a position to try to win the championship.

In the meantime, Manchester United continued to suffer because they could not find the right winger properly. Especially, Antony and Jadon Sancho's slump was serious. Mason Greenwood couldn't even be used by the team in the end due to privacy concerns. However, as Ahmad Diallo has recently revived, Manchester United has found a main right winger.
