"It is a lot but there are games that maybe we didn't deserve it but today we played, in general, good for 90 minutes. You have to stop transitions, long balls you have to defend but it's not about this action or that action, in general the game was well played. We created a lot against a team so defensive, a really good team, [which is] more dynamic."
"The statistics show City have dropped off in the second half of matches - had games finished at half-time, Guardiola's side would sit 13 points clear of Arsenal but instead find themselves seven points adrift. Forest had twice fallen behind but managed to hit back through Morgan Gibbs-White's superb instinctive backheel and Elliot Anderson's stunning curling effort."
Manchester City drew 2-2 against relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest, with Antoine Semenyo and Rodri scoring to give City a 2-1 lead. Forest equalized through Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson, denying City crucial points in the title race. City dominated with 70% possession and 21 shots but failed to maintain their advantage. The draw leaves City seven points behind leaders Arsenal, though they have a game in hand. This result highlights City's concerning pattern of dropping points from winning positions, having lost 13 points this way this season. Manager Pep Guardiola acknowledged City played well overall but emphasized the importance of defending transitions and long balls.
