Nottingham Forest beat Manchester City 3:1
Delap scored twice and Kunja also netted as Forest beat City 3:1; the result leaves Arsenal six points clear of Manchester City.
Nottingham Forest delivered a surprise result by beating Manchester City 3:1 in the Premier League matchday 10 fixture on November 7, 2026. The victory did more than hand Forest three points — it also gave Arsenal reason to celebrate: the champions now sit +6 points clear of Manchester City, 27 to 21.
The hosts struck early. Kunja opened the scoring in the 6th minute and Delap doubled the lead in the 18th, setting the tone for the game and placing City on the back foot.
"The Forest played a genuinely high-quality match and fully deserved to take all three points."
Second-half response and Delap’s killer finish
Manchester City reduced the deficit through Sherki in the 52nd minute to make it 2:1 and briefly revive hopes of a comeback. Those hopes were extinguished in the 73rd minute when Delap produced a superb second goal to seal a 3:1 final score.
The defeat is the third in a row for Enzo Maresca's side, a worrying run for the reigning champions as they chase the title. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, celebrated a polished performance at their home ground and left City questioning their recent form.
