Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland scored for the champions as they kept pace with leaders Arsenal.

When Guardiola was asked about what he liked about their display at the Forest Ground, he said: “We defended the box really good. Especially with Manu [Akanji], Nathan [Ake] and Josko [Gvardiol].
“Then in the last half hour, when Bernardo [Silva] came inside with Kova [Kovacic], we controlled the game more.
“We are a team that survives with the ball. It is a lot of games and we knew today would be difficult for many reasons. But we take the win and move forward.”
