Red card mayhem as City stay perfect, minnows get first-ever point: PL Wrap
Manchester City moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League despite having Rodri controversially sent-off in a fiery 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Spaniard grabbed Morgan Gibbs-White around the neck less than 60 seconds into the second-half and could face a costly suspension as a three-game ban would see him miss the Premier League visit to Arsenal next month. Guardiola said after losing Bernardo Silva to injury in a 3-1 win over Red Star Belgrade that his squad was “in trouble” due to a number of injuries.
The Portuguese played a neat one-two with Foden before chipping the ball across for Haaland to power home his ninth goal of the season.Julian Alvarez could have added to City’s lead when his effort from point-blank range was blocked behind.Taiwo Awoniyi had Forest’s best chance to get back into the game when the in-form Nigerian lifted over under pressure from Ederson.
Haaland should have had his second when he spooned over with the goal gaping from Nathan Ake’s cross late on.Elsewhere, struggling Everton beat Brentford 3-1 to earn their first league win this term and climb out of the relegation zone.Mathias Jensen equalised for Brentford against the run of play after 28 minutes, but James Tarkowski restored Everton’s advantage with a header from Dwight McNeil’s corner in the 67th minute.
