The first half was goalless, but straight after half-time, Tijjani Reijnders made his mark as he netted, with an assist by Rayan Cherki, to give Manchester City the lead.

This makes an impressive six straight victories for Manchester City's.

In the 54th minute, Omari Hutchinson  equalised for Nottingham Forest, with an assist by Igor Jesus.

With seven minutes left to play, Manchester City's Rayan Cherki scored the decider, with an assist by Josko Gvardiol.

The result saw Manchester City's sixth game in a row without defeat.
