Can we just hear it for Nottingham Forest, please? Sure, Manchester City continued their plummet from Premier League title winners to scrambling for Champions League qualification, but the achievements of Nuno Espírito Santo’s team deserve full recognition.
Callum Hudson-Odoi scored the winning goal seven minutes from time to enhance Forest’s hold on third place, four points clear of City, as the team who finished 17th last season deservedly overcame the side who were claiming their fourth successive title back then. If ever there was a game that epitomised both clubs’ seasons, this was it.
