Manchester City suffer their third successive Premier League defeat: Stats

The win comes after a tough start to the season for Oliver Glasner's side, who were yet to score or win at home this campaign. The match was a major turnaround for Forest fans, who had waited almost six months and endured eight-and-a-half hours of football without seeing their team score.

Goal details Early breakthrough by Jair Cunha and Xaver Schlager The match saw an early breakthrough when Jair Cunha dispossessed Josko Gvardiol and scored with his left foot in the sixth minute. This was Forest's first home goal since Morgan Gibbs-White scored against Bournemouth in the last game of last season, ending a 510-minute drought, as per Sky Sports News.

Just 12 minutes later, Xaver Schlager sent Liam Delap through on goal after beating former Forest man Elliot Anderson to the ball in midfield. Match highlights Delap's 2nd-half strike seals the deal for Forest Delap scored his second goal for Nottingham Forest in the 73rd minute.

The hosts had a two-goal lead to defend in front of their owner Evangelos Marinakis. Rayan Cherki pulled one back early in the second half with a powerful shot but Gibbs-White assisted Delap on the counterattack and his angled shot found the top corner of the net.

Season shift A major turning point for Nottingham Forest The win over Manchester City marks a major turning point for Nottingham Forest and their manager Oliver Glasner, who has been under pressure after recent results. The victory also lifted them out of the relegation zone.
