Despite Forest’s persistent threats, City solidified their lead with 20 minutes remaining, as Erling Haaland, coming off the bench, clinically finished beneath Matz Sels.
Following the match, pundit Roy Keane highlighted City’s defensive vulnerabilities in the first half, despite their eventual control in the second period. While expressing confidence in City’s ability to triumph in their upcoming fixtures, Keane cautioned against replicating their initial struggles. However, Haaland brushed off concerns regarding the team’s style, emphasizing the significance of securing the win.
Haaland remarked, “The most important thing is securing the win, regardless of how we achieve it. We anticipated a tough battle against Forest, considering their position in the table. Despite the challenging conditions, our focus remained on securing three points, which we accomplished.”
With this crucial victory, Manchester City now trails league leaders Arsenal by a single point, with a game in hand, setting the stage for an intense title race under Pep Guardiola’s stewardship.”
