Despite Forest’s strong performance in the first half, City’s precise finishing made the difference. Forest had a bright start, creating several chances, but their inability to convert these opportunities cost them.
Neco Williams missed a close-range shot early on, and Chris Wood failed to score from an open goal.

City, although quiet in the first half, took the lead with a goal from Joško Gvardiol, who headed in a corner from De Bruyne. Shortly after the break, Gvardiol made a crucial block from Wood before Erling Haaland doubled City’s lead.
Haaland received a pass from De Bruyne, outmaneuvered Murillo, and scored into the bottom-left corner. This victory sets City up nicely for their upcoming match against Wolves.
Forest will now focus on avoiding relegation as they prepare to face Sheffield United in their next fixture.
