Pep Guardiola was content that Manchester City did so many things right against Nottingham Forest on a rare off-day for Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian had already plundered in 32 goals this season in all competitions, including three against Forest at the Etihad, but missed a sitter and inexplicably fell over looking for a penalty when through on goal. City led 1-0 for 40 minutes but fell apart late on to allow the home side to score a late equaliser that cost the champions two points.
Having moved past Arsenal to the top of the table with a win at the Emirates on Wednesday, City were briefly looking at being able to put clear distance between them and their rivals. Yet the Gunners came back from behind twice to win at Villa Park and the Blues stumbled late on at Forest to see more change at the top of the table.
