Manchester City ended their seven-game winless streak in emphatic style with a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, providing a much-needed boost for Pep Guardiola’s side.
First-half goals from Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne gave City a commanding lead before Jeremy Doku sealed the win with a clinical strike 12 minutes into the second half.

After enduring six defeats and a frustrating 3-3 draw with Feyenoord—where they squandered a three-goal lead—this result brought a palpable sense of relief to the Etihad Stadium.
City’s performance, however, wasn’t without its flaws. Moments of sloppiness in possession and wayward passes left room for improvement.
The game could have taken a different turn had Chris Wood converted a golden opportunity in the first half after intercepting a misplaced back pass from De Bruyne.
Wood’s miss spared City, who quickly capitalized with De Bruyne’s well-taken goal moments later.
Doku’s precision strike from the edge of the box completed City’s biggest Premier League win of the season, underscoring a return to form in what has been a challenging campaign.
Guardiola’s jubilant reaction on the touchline spoke volumes about the importance of this result.
