With Arsenal beating Tottenham 3-2 in the North London derby earlier in the day, it was essential that Pep Guardiola’s men picked up three points at the City Ground.
And in the manager’s 300th Premier League game in charge, goals from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland, one in each half, ensured victory for the Blues.
With celebrity fan Noel Gallagher watching on in the stands, Gvardiol headed home his second top-flight goal of the campaign after an impressive corner by Kevin De Bruyne.
And KDB set up Haaland for the second, playing in the top-flight’s leading goalscorer for his 21st of the campaign.
It was a hard-fought win, against a brave and bold Forest side, and an important one as we continue to battle the Gunners for the crown.

the blues know that by winning their
remaining five matches they will be
crowned champions again but with almost
every team they face focusing on their
own Ambitions there is no such thing as
a gimmick today’s game is a case in
point with opponents doningham Forest
fighting for the points to keep them in
the division and sure to be hugely
motivated to contest every challenge
with intensity
so there’s a four-point gap for City to
make up at the top of the table
following Arsenal’s win in the north
London Derby earlier I don’t think the
city players would have expected
anything different Arsenal is certainly
going to try and win every single game
and put as much pressure as they can on
the blues the blues it would seem can
ill afford any slip outs and already
Forest are coming forward there’s an
attack which might end in a chance but
Nico Williams missed the ball and
already there’s a determination about
forest and an intensity about the crowd
noise rre eing forward plays it into the
path of Walker Walker with doku hugging
the Right Touch line AA comes across to
him dku plays it inside to Alvarez
Alvarez back to de bruyne de bruyne into
the gap for Bernardo Silva verardo
Silva’s tackled on the edge of the area
and then rogy wins it back and greish
picks it up and pokes it on and de bruy
is in the area and and de bruyne has it
and there’s a deflection and it’s saved
tipped Away by Matt cells and out for
another Corner good play from uh de
bruyne and he just gets a bit of a
deflection on the way through off of
Nico Williams which sort of misplaces
the goalkeeper a little bit he does
really well to react and Tip It Wide for
a
[Applause]
corner here comes Nico Williams for ning
Forest getting to the edge of the city
penalty area then he tries the shot and
Edison doesn’t feel he can catch it and
pushes it out with two fists and out for
the corner so nding and Forest have
their first corner and it was a good hit
from Nico
Williams and then it’s under the
crossbar might even have touched the
crossbar Edison managed to get it away
not sure if that was a deliberate Ploy
anyway the second ball comes in and
there’s an Almighty collision and the
ball’s up into the air and Simon who has
given City a free kick because Edison’s
down and nursing his left shoulder by
the look of it B’s also in a heap it was
a bit messy to say the very least there
K yeah I think bit of a coming together
there really bal’s a big old lad he’s
not one you want to be running into
particularly C he have two goalkeepers
on the bench today Stefan Orga and Scott
Carson Edison with pain but he’s okay
rodri to gardel gardial helps it further
to greish greish in the penalty area up
against Williams and he wins a corner
off Williams legs so C ahead on the
corner count but it’s still nil
nil de bruyne’s going to hit an in
swinger to the near post and it’s in
it’s a brilliant goal yosko gardial he
went away from his marker and glanc it
in at the near pose straight off the
training ground straight into the back
of the Nottingham Forest net City One
Forest nil fantastic ball in Murillo’s
trying to cover the space but viio comes
from Deep gets across the front of him
gets a a good solid touch on and it goes
flying into the near post great ball in
from De bruy you got to say whips the
ball into that area it’s just there for
someone to attack across the first
Defender which vardal does with a plum
and scores a great goal City lead by a
goal to nil yosko gardel’s third goal
for City in the month of
April Crossing position for aa aa looks
up hits in a deep ball and it’s gone all
right across the face of the goal and
Chris Wood hit an air shot that was a
golden opportunity for The Equalizer and
Chris Wood fluffed his
lines oh it’s a poor is behind him it’s
not the easiest of chances but he’s got
to do a lot back that be very
disappointed with that and a let off the
city Morris have got the ball and
they’re moving it out wide to Hudson
adori again and aena is coming to make
it difficult down that side D’s got to
funnel in and he’s going to have to go
with one of them aa’s being stopped by
aangi and a cani concedes the corner
well there is a genuine problem down the
flanks at the moment if they hit another
in swinging ball so you’ve got three men
on that near post area it goes into that
near post Edison can’t quite get to it
and who scooped that over the bar it was
Millo from underneath the city crossbar
what a
chance so a double change one in force
because of the injury to Edison one a
choice AA on towards the scurrying
elanga Walker can’t get to him in the
back surely now wood no he’s mishit it
and City clear it well Walker was
completely flued the langa got Beyond
him it was a tap in for wood and then
wood just didn’t strike it and cities
stay at one n but by the Skin of Their
Teeth old gallager who’s in the mixst of
those City fans behind the right hand
goal a right hand goal that hasn’t seen
too much City action in front of it in
the second half well are you surprised
at all to see harand coming on no
absolutely absolutely not you know I
mean it’s uh quite an obvious sort of
thing to do he’s know bringing one of
the best strikers in the world is not a
bad not a bad
[Music]
option 28 minutes to go every time I
look at the clock I’m pretty certain
it’s gone
backwards de bruyne now chance to come
forward City Alvarez darts in can he get
his shot in well he’s hit it over the
bar it was swinging away off his left
foot and it ends among the city fans
behind the goal wasn’t an easy chance
but boy could we have done with it going
in well you can see why kovic has been
brought on and you can see the
difference that it has made since he has
kovic finds a pass to Alvarez Alvarez on
to de bruyne de bruyne in a shooting
position great save Matt cells terrific
hit from De bruyne City fans behind the
goal ready to Roar good save and uh well
you have to say that is good
goalkeeper City have had two or three
minutes of possession Forest just
starting maybe to show signs of wilting
a little bit when they’re out of
possession the KI on it goes to Bernardo
Silva C he doing well to keep hold of
the ball and believe you me when you’re
out of possession your energy drains now
harand getting into a position to shoot
harand 2-0 boy do we need it and earling
harland’s provided it it is City 2
notingham Forest nil they’ve ridden out
the storm and and they’ve grabbed a two
goal lead yeah absolutely fantastic go
took it really really well again kdb
found a little bit of space played in
har was One V one then with Murillo who
fakes to come inside on his stronger
left foot Harland Millo buys it a little
bit then he goes the other way onto his
right just took the chance really early
SS comes out and he took the chance
really early and rolls it into the far
Corner well that was just what the
doctor ordered Kevin De bruyne for the
18th time has set up earling harand for
a goal Yates has got a behind him Yates
holds it up ball is on the left wing
position on it goes to Hudson adoy cross
comes in Orga was just slightly out of
position couldn’t catch it pared it away
just a bit of a scare there for
City Kevin De bruyne has been named man
of the match and uh well you have to say
once again two assists for
kdb Oscar Bob scampers forward for the
blues on it goes to kovic City getting
towards the final third do they want to
grab a third goal or do they just want
to see out the last few seconds kovic
well they’ve got more energy than forest
and they will be able to find gaps Oscar
Bob on it goes to Harland in the area
Harland Has the strength but sells
pushes out a left arm and saves it and
then bows it out into the possession of
Hudson adoi and Simon Hooper sounds the
whistle and City have beat nding ham
Forest by two goals to nil let’s be
honest about it it was not one of those
days where City bossed it from start to
finish nigan Forest had some great
moments in the game Arsenal leads City
by a point City have a game in hand this
is going right to the wire but the
Champions they want to make history and
do it four in a row wins like this prove
that they can
