Nottingham Forest 3-1 Man City: How the players rated
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.
