Man City drop more points: Nottingham Forest stun United at Old Trafford

Agency :

Manchester City’s struggle for form continued on Saturday when it were held to a 2-2 draw away to Crystal Palace.

The result is frustrating for City Coach Pep Guardiola after his side seemed to return to form with a 3-0 win at home to Nottingham Forest in midweek, but their defensive problems resurfaced in Palace’s opening goal as Kyle Walker played Daniel Munoz onside to open the scoring after just four minutes into the game.

Erling Haaland netted a smart header to level on the half hour, but Palace, who are now unbeaten in four games, retook the lead 10 minutes into the second half thanks to Maxence Lacroix.

Rico Lewis saved a point for City in the 68th minute, but his day was spoiled in the closing minutes when he was sent off for a second yellow card.

Nottingham Forest won 3-2 away to Manchester United to leave the latter’s new Coach Ruben Amorim with two defeats from three Premier League games since replacing Erik ten Hag.

Nikola Milenkovic powered in a header after just two minutes to give Forest the lead, but the lead didn’t last for long as Rasmus Hojlund slid the ball into an empty net in the 18th minute after Manuel Ugarte’s initial shot had been blocked.
