Manchester City defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 in a match that saw Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland score for the champions. Haaland, who came off the bench in the second half, was highlighted by pundit Ashley Williams for his sharp performance.

Julian Alvarez initially led the line for City before Haaland’s substitution, with the Argentine not having many chances to score. Forest threatened City’s goal, but it was Gvardiol’s header and Haaland’s clinical strike that secured the win for Guardiola’s side. Haaland’s ability to create separation from defenders and finish with conviction was praised by Williams and other pundits, emphasizing the importance of his presence in the team.
Haaland’s impressive cameo appearance against Forest showcased his sharpness and goal-scoring ability, despite not starting the match. With 32 goals in all competitions this season, Haaland’s impact on City’s performance was evident, with pundits like Alan Shearer acknowledging his lethal finishing.
