Manchester City kept up their Premier League title charge after beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 to move just a point behind current leaders Arsenal.
Erling Haaland marked his return to action with a goal in the second half to wrap up the victory for City and ensure their destiny remains in their own hands.
Haaland coolly slotted into the bottom corner shortly after coming on while Josko Gvardiol had made the breakthrough after nodding home Kevin De Bruyne's corner.

WALKER'S PITCH COMPLAINT
Nottingham Forest undoubtedly made life difficult for Manchester City – and the visiting captain had a theory of how they wanted to gain an advantage before a ball had been kicked.
Kyle Walker was seen lodging a complaint with the Premier League's match manager out on the pitch in what is understood to have been a grievance about the state of the surface.
Walker's misgivings were that the grass was too dry – City better when pitches are slick – and they certainly found it tough retaining possession quickly. Forest had obviously done nothing wrong though.
