A really hard-fought 2-0 victory and a crucial three points for City today. We will back for the Premier League clash with Wolves next Saturday. In the meantime, check out the Women's Super League game at Bristol City. Come on City!!!! 💙
It was a difficult game, they played with bravery. They have fast players with a lot of quality so we found a goal in the moment when it was 10 against 11. It is a great victory as we had a lot of games behind us. Now we have a long week to recover. The game changed when Bernardo [Silva] came inside and made a lot of passes. It was difficult because the opponents were so tough, aggressive. These game are so, so tough at this stage in the Premier League.
Its an important win, it does not matter how we do it, and it is good to be back. We knew it was going to be a fight, and the pitch was not the easiest to play on but we cannot complain, it is about winning and that is exactly what we did."

Maybe not City's best performance of the season, but an absolutely huge win. Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland on target in a 2-0 victory that keeps the title race in our hands.
Forest win a free-kick and fire the ball into the box but it's Nathan Ake who rises highest yet again to see the ball away.
