Nottingham Forest missed an opportunity to exploit Manchester City’s recent struggles, falling 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.
Super Eagles defender Ola Aina played 63 minutes but couldn’t prevent the dominant Premier League champions from ending their poor run in emphatic fashion.
Bernardo Silva set the tone early, scoring within 10 minutes from a Kevin De Bruyne assist. De Bruyne, who was making his first start since September, doubled City’s lead before halftime, firing home a powerful shot from 15 yards after receiving a pass from compatriot Jeremy Doku.
City maintained their intensity in the second half, sealing the win when Doku scored his second Premier League goal of the season.
