Manchester City secured a crucial victory against Nottingham Forest, propelling them within touching distance of Premier League leaders Arsenal.
The intense match at the City Ground saw a stellar performance from Erling Haaland, who came off the bench to secure a 2-0 win for the defending champions.
Haaland's impactful substitution came just after the hour mark, replacing Jack Grealish. His 71st-minute goal, assisted by a precise pass from Kevin De Bruyne was his 21st league goal of the season, catapulting him to the top of the league's scoring charts.
This pivotal moment followed Josko Gvardiol's early headed goal on 32 minutes, courtesy of a De Bruyne corner.
Manchester City's victory was imperative as title rivals Arsenal had secured a 3-2 win against Tottenham earlier in the day.
With this win, Pep Guardiola's side trails Mikel Arteta's Gunners by just a point, although Arsenal have played one more game, accumulating 80 points from 35 matches.
While Nuno Espírito Santo's team remains in the precarious position of fourth-bottom in the league, just a point above the relegation zone occupied by Luton.
