CITY KEEP UP THE PRESSURE ON ARSENAL WITH 2-0 WIN – Manchester City beat Nottingham Forest and are one point behind Arsenal
Manchester City took another step in their bid to win a fourth consecutive Premier League title with a 2-0 victory over relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest, with Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland on target.
Pep Guardiola’s men kept the pressure on leaders Arsenal, pulling to within a point of the Gunners — who held on to win 3-2 at Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the day — in the table with a game in hand.
Forest had matched City in a nervous first half at the sundrenched City Ground before Gvardiol got the holders on the scoreboard with his second career league goal when he headed in Kevin De Bruyne’s corner kick from the near post in the 32nd minute. Forest had only 10 men on the pitch at the time following an injury to Neco Williams.
Haaland made a quick impact when he entered the game as a substitute in his first action since missing two matches with a muscle injury, scoring a league-leading 21st goal of the season from another De Bruyne assist.
