Manchester City secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, with Kevin De Bruyne providing two assists for Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland. Despite Forest’s strong performance and more attempts at goal, City’s clinical finishing proved to be the difference. Following Ederson’s injury in the first half, goalkeeper Stefan Ortega Moreno stepped in and impressed, leading City legend Paul Dickov to praise him as ‘top-class’.

Ortega’s performance against Forest showcased his quality as a backup goalkeeper for Manchester City. With Guardiola hinting at a potential extended run for Ortega due to Ederson’s injury, fans can be reassured by his consistent performances since joining the club. The German stopper has proven himself as an invaluable asset, with his composed presence in goal ensuring minimal drop-off in quality when called upon.
