EPL: Rodri Receives Red Card as Manchester City Triumphs Over Nottingham Forest

Manchester City maintained their flawless start in the Premier League by defeating Nottingham Forest 2-0, even though they ended the match with 10 players.

Kyle Walker orchestrated Phil Foden’s precise first-time strike for City’s opener at the Etihad, while Matheus Nunes delivered a cross from the same flank, allowing an unmarked Haaland to head home.

Early in the second half, Rodri received a straight red card for violent conduct, as he placed his hands around Morgan Gibbs-White’s throat during a tangle near the corner flag.

Nottingham Forest had limited clear-cut opportunities, with Orel Mangala sending one shot over the bar and Taiwo Awoniyi missing the target from close range before Ederson denied Anthony Elanga in the dying moments.

Tensions flared in the closing minutes, with City manager Pep Guardiola and the home fans expressing their dissatisfaction with more of Taylor’s decisions. Nonetheless, City managed to hold on.

With the rest of the top four teams set to play on Sunday, the defending champions now find themselves five points clear at the summit of the league table.
