Arsenal fan Piers Morgan has joked that Manchester City 'choked' in their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
City were forced to settle for a point after dominating much of the 90 minutes as Chris Wood netted his first goal for the club just six minutes from time. Pep Guardiola's side had taken the lead in the first half through a stunning Bernardo Silva strike but failed to capitalise on the chances they created, with Erling Haaland the main culprit.
The Premier League's top scorer spurned two incredible chances in the same passage of play. After Keylor Navas had failed to hold a shot, the ball broke to Haaland, whose volley into the ground struck the bar.

Fortuitously, the ball came back to Haaland inside the six-yard box. A goal looked inevitable, only for Haaland to incredibly smash it over the bar, to the disbelief of the City fans behind the goal.
The result meant City missed the chance to move back above Arsenal into first place despite their 3-1 win at the Emirates on Wednesday night. Writing on Twitter after the game, Morgan could not resist a dig at City.
