"Rayan Cherki continued his fine recent form for City, setting up Tijjani Reijnders for the opening goal before netting the winner himself after Omari Hutchinson had earlier levelled for Forest. The result sees Pep Guardiola's side maintain their eight-game winning run to leapfrog title rivals Arsenal at the summit of the table - temporarily at least - with the Gunners taking on Brighton later in the day."
"The game had suddenly opened up. However, just when it looked like City might add to their tally, Forest hit back after a devastating counter attack that ended with Jesus' chipped cross being fired in by Hutchinson at the far post. But the Forest keeper could do little to stop Cherki's half-volley that nestled into the bottom corner with just eight minutes remaining."
Manchester City won 2-1 at Nottingham Forest, moving temporarily to the top of the Premier League. Rayan Cherki set up Tijjani Reijnders for the opener and later scored a late winner with a half-volley. Omari Hutchinson equalised for Forest after a devastating counter-attack finished by a chipped cross from Jesus. John Victor produced several important saves to deny Cherki and Phil Foden. The first half was even and produced few clear chances, while the second half opened up with more attacking moments. The victory extended Pep Guardiola's side's winning run to eight matches and leapfrogged Arsenal at the summit.
