opera.com 2024/5/14

Manchester City marked Pep Guardiola's 300th Premier League game with a hard-fought 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest, narrowing the gap to league leaders Arsenal to just one point, as reported by Flashscore.

The champions showed intent early on, with Kevin De Bruyne testing Matz Sels, while Jérémy Doku threatened Forest's defense. However, it was a set-piece that broke the deadlock, with Joško Gvardiol nodding in De Bruyne's corner.

Forest rallied, with Neco Williams forcing Ederson into a save and Murillo missing a chance from a corner. Ederson's injury at halftime saw Stefan Ortega take his place in goal. Forest pressed for an equalizer, but Gvardiol's block denied Chris Wood.

Guardiola introduced Erling Haaland, whose impact was immediate. The Norwegian striker found the net with a clinical finish, extending City's lead. The victory secured City's first league double over Forest in over three decades and left the hosts precariously perched above the relegation zone.
