Manchester City defeat Nottingham Forest 2-0 to set their straight six-win

Manchester City defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium with Phil Foden and Erling Haaland first-half goals.

The Premier League champion’s 2-0 win over N-Forest on Saturday made it six wins from six matches in their Premier League game this season despite Rodri being sent off early in the second half.

Nottingham Forest also showed themselves to be a potent force on the counter-attack away from home this season, going two goals up against Manchester United at Old Trafford and defeating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The Premier League champions proved a different proposition.

Forest had barely touched the ball when Rodri found Kyle Walker with a delightful pass in behind the flailing Nuno Tavares in the seventh minute and the full-back found Foden with an unselfish cushioned volley. The finish was emphatic, capping a move that featured 46 passes.
