Man City's defensive frailties glaring at the City Ground 📉

Man City's defensive frailties glaring at the City Ground 📉 The Premier League could be in for a shock finish on Saturday as Manchester City find themselves not one but two goals down against relegation battlers Nottingham Forest.  But don't kid yourself, the hosts thoroughly deserve their lead.  Six minutes into the game, Forest turned things 1-0 when centre-back (yes, centre-back) Jair Cunha strolled up the pitch, picked up the ball from Josko Gvardiol, waltzed forward essentially unmarked, and scored. Then, about 10 minutes later, the club steamrolled through City's defence again.  Former Chelsea boy Liam Delap received the ball inside his own half and carried it upfield before striking it over Gianluigi Donnarumma with power. The crowd erupted as the scoreline read 2-0. As a result, City have now conceded in the opening 11 minutes of three consecutive games in the Premier League (Aston Villa and Brighton, prior to today). They have conceded 16 goals over their last 8 games across all competitions. Their last clean sheet was against Liverpool on October 11. Meanwhile, Forest had not scored at home in the Premier League for 167 days before this. It's also been 27 years since the club had a 2-0 lead as quickly as they did today in England's top flight.
