Pep Guardiola‘s side travelled to the East Midlands seeking another victory to maintain our charge for an unprecedented fourth straight Premier League title.
However, it promised to be a tough encounter against a Forest side desperate for points themselves to boost their survival hopes.
And so it proved with Nuno Espirito Santo’s men pushing City all the way.
However, our class and patience ultimately yielded another precious victory with Josko Gvardiol breaking the deadlock on 32 minutes.
Substitute Erling Haaland then made his presence felt, firing home his 21st league goal of the season with 19 minutes remaining to effectively seal the deal.
It leaves City needing four more league wins to secure what would be an historic fourth title on the bounce.
