- Published21 August
Nottingham Forest
Matz Sels:Could do nothing about Rayan Cherki's goal.6
Daniel Munoz:Looked pumped and did superbly to keep the dangerous Jeremy Doku quiet.7
Jair Cunha:The centre-back found himself in attack in the sixth minute, when he pounced before coolly rolling in the opener. Made a brilliant goalline clearance at the other end.8
Nikola Milenkovic:Stood tall to block a Jeremy Doku strike early on which epitomised his overall showing.7
Murillo:The Brazilian was solid and did what was asked of him, to help stop Erling Haaland.7
Neco Williams:Got stuck in when required. A solid performance.7
Ryan Yates:The captain's poor clearance allowed Cherki to score in the second half.6
Xaver Schlager:Provided the assist for the second goal in a decent showing.7
James McAtee:Had a very good game against his former club. Could have enjoyed a goal but had a weak shot saved, before blazing another over.7
Morgan Gibbs-White:Hard-working and caused City a few problems in the final third.7
Liam Delap:A double for the no-nonsense ex-City striker. Two thunderous finishes brought the stadium alive.9
Subs:
Luca Netz (on 64, McAtee) 6
Dan Ndoye (on 64, Munoz) 6
Ibrahim Sangare (on 79, Yates) 6
Igor Jesus (on 86, Delap) 6
Subs not used:John Victor, Ousmane Diomande, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Chris Wood, Arnaud Kalimuendo.
Manchester City
Gianluigi Donnarumma:Another game without a clean sheet, another three conceded. Aerially suspect too. Not having a good season.4
Abdukodir Khusanov:Seems awkward when shunted out to the right, before being moved back inside.4
Ruben Dias:A desperate lunge to try to block Delap's goal summed up his - and his side's - poor display.4
Marc Guehi:Part of a City defence that were all over the place in the first half before being hooked at half-time.4
Josko Gvardiol:Not in great form at the moment. Soft on the ball early on when he had his pocket picked by Cunha for Forest's opener and was also substituted.4
Elliot Anderson:Made an unhappy return to the City Ground where he lost the midfield battle.5
Enzo Fernandez:A really disappointing performance. Should have pulled a goal back but sent his header from close range over. Midfield seems to lack in balance with him and Anderson in the side.5
Jeremy Doku:Got no change out of Munoz and produced very little.5
Iliman Ndiaye:Missed interception led to Forest's second goal and did not contribute much in attack. Not his best game.5
Rayan Cherki:Pulled a goal back for City with a stunning finish in the second half.6
Erling Haaland:Had some chances but not his best showing in front of goal.5
Subs:
Matheus Nunes (on 45, Guehi)Failed to put a foot in on Delap for Forest's third.5
Nico O'Reilly (on 45, Gvardiol)With Gvardiol shaky, will the Englishman be given a run of games in the side?6
Phil Foden (on 76, Fernandez) 6
Subs not used:Geronimo Rulli, Mateo Kovacic, Vitor Reis, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Allan, Rico Lewis.
