Nottingham Forest, ranked 17th before the game, ushered in the 35th round of the Premier League, and Nottingham Forest sat at their home PK Manchester City, which was ranked second before the game.
Nottingham Forest had gone three games without a win (one draw, two defeats) before the game, but in the games before this one draw and two defeats, Nottingham Forest had the feat of upsetting strong rivals Manchester United, while Manchester City had won two consecutive games in all competitions (beating Chelsea and Brighton) before the game. It can be seen that Nottingham Forest's form is far less than that of Manchester City.
In the last three meetings between the two sides, Manchester City won 2 and drew 1, beating Nottingham Forest in the upper hand, so more than 70% of fans believed that the visiting Manchester City team could beat Nottingham Forest before the game.
Manchester City broke the deadlock first in the 33rd minute, with Kevin De Bruyne assisting from a corner kick and Gvardiol heading home from the front post.
City doubled their lead in the 72nd minute when Kevin De Bruyne delivered another clever pass, this time Haaland got the ball into the right side of the box and fired a low shot into the bottom left corner of the net. Haaland broke a three-game goal drought.
In the end, the visiting Manchester City team defeated Nottingham Forest to usher in three consecutive wins in all competitions, and Manchester City continued to rank second with 79 points in the first time after the game, one point behind the top Arsenal team with one game less. I don't know if the Arsenal team is afraid at this moment?
