Liam Delap netted twice as Nottingham Forest defeated Manchester City 3-1, securing their first home Premier League win of the season. The decisive goals came in the first half, with Jair Cunha opening the scoring after exploiting a poor touch from Josko Gvardiol. Forest doubled their lead when Xaver Schlager fed Delap, who finished strongly past Gianluigi Donnarumma.
City had late chances, including Erling Haaland's effort being cleared off the line, and Enzo Fernandez missing a headed opportunity. Rayan Cherki equalised for Manchester City shortly after the restart, but Delap's second goal sealed the match. This result leaves Manchester City six points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Forest's win moves them up to 16th place, two points clear of the relegation zone, following their impressive performance against defending title contenders.
