Sky Sports reports Nottingham Forest stunned Manchester City 3-1

The match was played in Nottingham on 7 November 2026. Sky Sports described Forest as having shocked Manchester City and identified the score as 3-1, while BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports separately published post-match player ratings from the fixture.

Those ratings provided a second angle on the match. Both BBC Sport and Yahoo Sports used the description “delightful” for Delap and “outfought” for Anderson. The available coverage establishes only those surnames, not the players’ full names or positions.

The result came against a difficult recent league backdrop for Manchester City. The Guardian reported before the game that City had lost their previous two Premier League matches, although a midweek Champions League victory in Leipzig had interrupted that run.

The supplied coverage supports a clear contrast between the match outcome and the pre-match situation: Sky Sports provides the 3-1 scoreline, while the other reports confirm the venue, competition and post-match reaction. The Guardian’s preview also mentioned Oliver Glasner in connection with Crystal Palace, but did not link him directly to the Forest–Manchester City fixture.
