A point against the reigning premier league champions Manchester City

Nottingham Forest have gone eight consecutive PL home games without defeat for the first time since 1996:

1-1 vs Villa

1-0 vs Liverpool

2-2 vs Brentford

1-0 vs Palace

1-1 vs Chelsea

2-0 vs Leicester

1-0 vs Leeds

1-1 vs Man City

Take a bow.

Wood you believe it? Forest earn draw against City.

Chris Wood came off the bench to score a late equaliser as Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 against Manchester City in the Premier League (PL), after the Reds had made it a very awkward afternoon for the Citizens on their first visit to the City Ground since 2001.

As was expected, Pep Guardiola’s side took complete control of proceedings from the off. However, having been swept aside at the Etihad, Forest were putting their bodies on the line as Joe Worrall and Serge Aurier both made important blocks in the opening 10 minutes.

While the hosts’ attacking hopes were always fleeting, they were doing well enough defensively for Kevin De Bruyne to hit two speculative, and ultimately harmless, shots from range as the half-hour mark approached.

Steve Cooper turned to Chris Wood in an attempt to capitalise on City’s wastefulness and the plan worked perfectly, as the striker popped up at the back post to turn in Morgan Gibbs-White’s low cross and score his first Reds goal, extending Forest’s unbeaten home run to eight PL matches.

Meanwhile, City have now won just one of their last four away games in all competitions and have fallen behind Arsenal just one game after beating the Gunners to go top.
