Manchester City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Despite being reduced to 10 men after Rodri was sent off for a neck grab early in the second half, City maintained their perfect start to the season with six wins in six games.
Phil Foden and Erling Haaland were the goal-scorers for City, both finding the net in the opening 15 minutes of the match. Foden's sweet volley from a Kyle Walker cross put City ahead, and Matheus Nunes set up Haaland for the second goal.
Rodri's moment of madness could see him face a suspension, potentially missing City's Premier League visit to Arsenal next month.
Forest had their chances, with Nigeria's Taiwo Awoniyi lifting the ball over the bar under pressure from City's goalkeeper Ederson. Awoniyi and Ederson were involved in a fiery confrontation, but neither saw red.
City manager Pep Guardiola, already dealing with injuries to several key players, had to navigate this match without Bernardo Silva, Mateo Kovacic, John Stones, and with Jack Grealish on the bench.
Despite Forest's efforts, City held on for their 20th consecutive home win in all competitions. Meanwhile, Luton secured their first-ever Premier League point in a 1-1 draw against Wolves, while Crystal Palace and Fulham played to a goalless draw
