Commentary
The full-time whistle goes, and it's a Liam Delap-inspired 3-1 victory for Nottingham Forest over Manchester City. There were no home wins, and no home goals for the Tricky Trees before this game and there was an almighty public calling out from Glasner last week. But, football eh? Who writes these scripts? Admittedly, Forest had a big helping hand from City, with Gvardiol making a hash of things for Cunha to steal in, maraud forward, and roll into the bottom-left corner to get Forest on the way. More weak play in midfield allowed Delap to tear forward and smash past Donnarumma to double the lead and make it 2-0 by half-time. City found another level early in the second half, and Cherki's beautifully executed half-volley reduced the arrears and led to a prolonged spell of City pressure. But Forest weathered the storm, and Delap started and ended a wonderful counter, leathering a left-footed effort into the top-right corner after being played in by Gibbs-White, which led to Glasner racing down the touchline to join in the celebrations. Forest's xG of 0.98 tells you everything you need to know about the quality of Delap's strikes, while City's 1.57 shows they did not turn their pressure into dominance. The upshot is Forest climb out of the bottom three to 16th, while City have now lost three on the spin in the league after winning their opening seven league games. City are still second but are now six points off champions Arsenal at the top of the table. Thanks for joining us for this one, folks. Until next time!

Jesus also goes into the book for time wasting, he took a little too long doing up his shoelace.

Netz clips Foden in the middle of the Forest half. He'll take that yellow all day long.
