Man City keep pressure on Arsenal with win over Forest

Manchester City took another step in their bid to win a fourth consecutive Premier League title with a 2-0 victory over relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland on target.

Pep Guardiola's men kept the pressure on leaders Arsenal, pulling to within a point of Arsenal -- who held on to win 3-2 at Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the day -- in the table with a game in hand.

Gvardiol got City on the scoreboard when he headed in Kevin De Bruyne's corner kick in the 32nd minute in a nervous first half that saw Forest miss a couple of terrific chances.
