EPL table: Man City suffer shock 3-1 defeat at Nottingham, Arsenal now 6pts clear

Manchester City suffered a shock 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday night.

It was the third consecutive loss Enzo Maresca’s men have suffered.

The hosts began the match in brilliant fashion, scoring twice within the opening 20 minutes.

Jair Cunha pounced on a defensive error to make it 1-0, before Liam Delap raced through to finish high into the net.

At the start of the second half, City threatened to stage a comeback, after Rayan Cherki produced a stunning finish.

But Delap added a third for Forest from a swift counter-attack.

The result means City will sit six points behind Arsenal going into the November international break.
