When Phil Foden and Erling Haaland netted goals within 14 minutes at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, it appeared that Nottingham Forest might face a daunting challenge. However, Pep Guardiola’s squad failed to extend their early lead.
In fact, after Rodri received a red card in the 46th minute, the visiting team enjoyed considerable success. Steve Cooper’s side dominated possession with 63% and registered nine shots in the second half, while limiting Manchester City to just one shot on goal after the break.
