Manchester City's slide hit a new low at the City Ground.

Liam Delap scored in each half against the club where he started his career as Nottingham Forest beat City 3-1 on Saturday. It was Forest's first home league win of the season and City's third straight Premier League defeat.

City began the season with seven straight wins. They remain second but now sit six points behind leaders Arsenal.

Two goals in 19 minutes

Centre-back Jair Cunha opened the scoring in the sixth minute when he stole the ball from Josko Gvardiol high up the pitch and slotted past Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Delap doubled the lead in the 19th minute. He pounced on a loose ball in his own half and ran all the way into the City box before firing past Donnarumma.

Jair also cleared an Erling Haaland shot off the line before halftime.

Cherki sparks hope then Delap ends it

Rayan Cherki pulled one back in the 52nd minute with a half-volley into the top corner. Haaland then curled a shot just over the bar.

Forest sealed it on a breakaway in the 73rd minute. Delap sent Morgan Gibbs-White away and the England international returned the ball for Delap to finish in off the post.

Delap had scored once in eight games since his club-record move from Chelsea. The win lifted Oliver Glasner's side out of the relegation zone and dropped Manchester United into the bottom three.
