“Manchester City” could not gain a foothold on the field of the newly formed “Nottingham Forest” (1:1) and lost the chance to return to the first place in the Premier League.

Arsenal remains the leader of the Premier League after the 24th stage

Pep Guardiola’s side squandered a great chance to return to the top of the Premier League and clashed with newly promoted Nottingham Forest.

The reigning champions had no fewer than 23 chances on goal for Keylor Navas, but managed just one point in the match.

Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for the Citizens in the 41st minute after Jack Grealish’s pass, and the visitors took the lead at the break at the City Ground.

In the second half, City continued to miss great chances to double their lead.

With 6 minutes to go, Chris Wood restored the tie (min. 84) and also established the final score of the game.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea have confirmed their very poor form of late, despite the hundreds of millions of euros invested in this transfer window.

Graham Potter’s team lost at home to Southampton, James Ward-Prowse’s late goal decided the game.
