City slip up! Haaland missed a hundred chances – Wood make his only one count!

Chris Wood scored a late goal at City Ground in Nottingham to put a dent in Manchester City’s title chase and claim a famous draw for the team that played in the second tier last season.Bernardo Silva showed his class with a fantastic strike that gave Manchester City a hard-fought win at Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola couldn’t wait for the Portuguese to recover from his long-term injury problem and today showed why. But this wasn’t a great day for the reigning champions of England.Erling Haaland was guilty of a few shicking misses, the kind social media trolls would love to see from Darwin Nunez – it was that bad. The “highlight” in particular was when he initially struck the crossbar before blasting over it in space a second later. It was a golden chance to make it 2-0 to the visitors and all but seal the points. Mistakes like that deserve to be punished.Morgan Gibbs-White escaped his markers on the right and squared perfectly for big man Wood to finish easily into the empty net. The Cityzens were hoping that VAR would give them a reprieve – but the goal was perfectly valid. The noise levels at the City Ground soared – and for a good reason! The team that was out of the Premier League for quarter of a century is now making the champions of England suffer at their legendary ground. It’s the sort of a story only Premier League seems to deliver!Pep tried to make a few changes and snatch a late win, but City couldn’t find what would be a dramatic winner and were made to pay for wasting chance after chance. Just three days earlier, they looked like the most dangerous team in the world when they won at the Emirates, but today they did Arsenal a favour and fell two points further back in the title race, making the gap three points.Tributes have been paid to Christian Atsu prior to kick-off at every Premier League ground as the world comes to terms with the tragedy that gripped Turkey and Syria.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUESaturdayAston Villa – Arsenal 2-4 (2-1)/Watkins 5, Coutinho 31 – Saka 16, Zinchenko 61, Martinez 90+3 og, Martinelli 90+8/Brentford – Crystal Palace 1-1 (0-0)/Janelt 90+6 – Eze 69/Brighton – Fulham 0-1 (0-0)/Solomon 88/Chelsea – Southampton 0-1 (0-1)/Ward-Prowse 45+1/Everton – Leeds 1-0 (0-0)/Coleman 64/Nottingham Forest – Manchester City 1-1 (0-1)/Bernardo 41/Wolverhampton – Bournemouth 0-1 (0-0)/Tavernier 49/20.30: (2.65) Newcastle (3.35) Liverpool (2.70)Sunday17.00: (1.68) Man.Utd.
