First-half strikes from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland saw 10-man City overcome Nottingham Forest 2-0 to make it six wins out of six in the Premier League and extend our lead at the top of the table.
Pep Guardiola’s side made a flying start at the Etihad, racing into a two-goal lead inside 15 minutes thanks to Foden’s first goal of the season – after a stunning 46-pass move – and an eighth strike this campaign from Haaland.
But the game then turned on its head two minutes after the restart when Rodrigo was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor for violent conduct, a decision upheld by VAR.
It meant City had to dig deep for the remainder of what was a bad tempered, feisty affair that featured 10 yellow cards as well as that Rodrigo red.
But the champions showed great character to hold firm and maintain our 100 per cent record, in the process moving five points clear at the top of the table – a fitting way to celebrate what was our 300th Premier League home win.
