Many thought City would have an easy journey back to the top of the English Premier League Table but Forest scurried any such dreams.
With Arsenal winning their earlier game and regaining top spot, commentators were certain it would be short lived as all the bookies anticipated an easy win for City.
The first half was quiet for the most part as Man City dictated the game, while Forest were forced to sit deep in their own half due to the visitors’ dominance.
Rodri and Grealish both had opportunities to open the scoring, but the Forest defence held firm. Then, in the 41st minute,
Silva produced a moment of brilliance by scoring a thunderous strike from 20 yards out that left Navas helpless and put the Blues up 1-0 heading into halftime.
For most of the second half, Guardiola’s team pushed for a second goal, but they were unable to find the winning touch.
Wood, Forest’s substitute, made up for Forest’s lack of offensive production by tapping home the game-tying goal at the back post in the 84th minute with the Forest’s lone shot on goal.
Arsenal maintains top position with one game in hand.
