Delightful Delap and outfought Anderson - Forest v Man City player ratings

Matz Sels: Could do nothing about Rayan Cherki's goal. 6Daniel Munoz: Looked pumped and did superbly to keep the dangerous Jeremy Doku quiet. 7Jair Cunha: The centre-back found himself in attack in the sixth minute, when he pounced before coolly rolling in the opener. Made a brilliant goalline clearance at the other end. 8Nikola Milenkovic: Stood tall to block a Jeremy Doku strike early on which epitomised his overall showing. 7Murillo: The Brazilian was solid and did what was asked of him, to help stop Erling Haaland. 7Neco Williams: Got stuck in when required. A solid performance. 7Ryan Yates: The captain's poor clearance allowed Cherki to score in the second half. 6Xaver Schlager: Provided the assist for the second goal in a decent showing. 7James McAtee: Had a very good game against his former club. Could have enjoyed a goal but had a weak shot saved, before blazing another over. 7Morgan Gibbs-White: Hard-working and caused City a few problems in the final third. 7Liam Delap: A double for the no-nonsense ex-City striker. Two thunderous finishes brought the stadium alive. 9Subs:Luca Netz (on 64, McAtee) 6Dan Ndoye (on 64, Munoz) 6Ibrahim Sangare (on 79, Yates) 6Igor Jesus (on 86, Delap) 6Subs not used: John Victor, Ousmane Diomande, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Chris Wood, Arnaud Kalimuendo.Gianluigi Donnarumma: Another game without a clean sheet, another three conceded. Aerially suspect too. Not having a good season. 4Abdukodir Khusanov: Seems awkward when shunted out to the right, before being moved back inside. 4Ruben Dias: A desperate lunge to try to block Delap's goal summed up his - and his side's - poor display. 4Marc Guehi: Part of a City defence that were all over the place in the first half before being hooked at half-time. 4Josko Gvardiol: Not in great form at the moment. Soft on the ball early on when he had his pocket picked by Cunha for Forest's opener and was also substituted. 4Elliot Anderson: Made an unhappy return to the City Ground where he lost the midfield battle. 5Enzo Fernandez: A really disappointing performance. Should have pulled a goal back but sent his header from close range over. Midfield seems to lack in balance with him and Anderson in the side. 5Jeremy Doku: Got no change out of Munoz and produced very little. 5Iliman Ndiaye: Missed interception led to Forest's second goal and did not contribute much in attack. Not his best game. 5Rayan Cherki: Pulled a goal back for City with a stunning finish in the second half. 6Erling Haaland: Had some chances but not his best showing in front of goal. 5Subs:Matheus Nunes (on 45, Guehi) Failed to put a foot in on Delap for Forest's third. 5Nico O'Reilly (on 45, Gvardiol) With Gvardiol shaky, will the Englishman be given a run of games in the side? 6Phil Foden (on 76, Fernandez) 6Subs not used: Geronimo Rulli, Mateo Kovacic, Vitor Reis, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Allan, Rico Lewis.
