NOTTINGHAM FOREST DEFEAT MAN CITY
In a stunning Premier League upset, Nottingham Forest handed Manchester City their ninth defeat of the season with a dramatic 1-0 victory in the 28th round of the 2024-25 campaign. This shock result raises serious doubts about City’s ability to retain their title.
Manchester City’s Dominance Yields No Results
As expected, Manchester City controlled possession for much of the first half, dictating play and pressing high. However, despite their dominance, they struggled to carve out clear-cut chances. Their best opportunity fell to Erling Haaland, who capitalized on a mistake by Chris Wood but narrowly missed the target with a powerful shot.
