Man City Go Top with 2-1 Win at Forest After Cherki Heroics

Cherki ended his league scoring drought with an 83rd-minute winner, securing Manchester City's sixth consecutive victory and top spot in the Premier League, officials said.

  • On Dec 27, Rayan Cherki scored an 83rd-minute winner to seal Manchester City's 2-1 victory at Nottingham Forest, putting Pep Guardiola's side atop the Premier League.
  • Cherki set up the opener in the second half with a low first-time pass to Tijjani Reijnders, while Nottingham Forest hit back three minutes later through Omari Hutchinson.
  • Cherki has accumulated 50 top-flight goal involvements, including 16 goals and 34 assists, and has set up seven league goals since November 1, more than any player in Europe's top five leagues.
  • City extended their winning run to six league matches and their eight-game winning run in all competitions, with observers noting this will unsettle title rivals Arsenal.
  • Against an emotional backdrop, Pep Guardiola enforced strict festive training discipline and denied a day off, signaling his belief Manchester City can reclaim the title.
