Forest somehow behind despite eye-opening first-half stat vs Man City 😲 | OneFootball

Despite being behind against Manchester City, Nottignham Forest were the better side in the first-half at the City Ground.

The Reds have looked dangerous on the counter throughout, with Callum Hudson-Odoi, Ola Aina and Anthony Elanga all causing Pep Guardiola’s side problems in the opening 45.

In fact, according to the stats, no side has threatened the champions as much in the first half of a Premier League game all season.

Chris Wood couldn’t sort his feet out when the ball came flying at him with the goal at his bay, before Murillo went one better, flicking the ball over the bar when it seemed any touch would put the ball in Ederson’s net.

Still, Nuno can only be enthused by his side’s efforts and if it can be continued somewhat in the second half, both the title race and battle for survival could look very different in an hour’s time.
