First-half strikes from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland saw 10-man City overcome Nottingham Forest 2-0 to make it six wins out of six in the Premier League and extend our lead at the top of the table.
Pep Guardiola’s side made a flying start at the Etihad, racing into a two-goal lead inside 15 minutes thanks to Foden’s first goal of the season – after a stunning 46-pass move – and an eighth strike this campaign from Haaland.
But the game then turned on its head two minutes after the restart when Rodrigo was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor for violent conduct, a decision upheld by VAR.
It meant City had to dig deep for the remainder of what was a bad tempered, feisty affair that featured 10 yellow cards as well as that Rodrigo red.
But the champions showed great character to hold firm and maintain our 100 per cent record, in the process moving five points clear at the top of the table – a fitting way to celebrate what was our 300th Premier League home win.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There were two strange things about this particular incident. Firstly, Rodri losing his temper, which almost never happens, and the fact that it was so soon after coming out of the dressing room.

Can we all start calling out these absolute scum for play acting?
Walker: "Phil, do your thing."
Haaland keeps missing shots that he converted almost almost all the time last season, lol. I bet that's super frustrating.
Haaland he will never forget about missing that goal,it was a good pass,came in time and found him in the box to finish 😂
💙
Good goal
I subbed!
City should appeal for Rodri's red card this is because he was first elbowed by the forest player. The referee was bias
Did someone notice alvarez increasing his free kick skills 🗿💀
What a cheap behaviour from Rodrigo😢
Ref bravo
K Walker is a legend!
Rodri should have controlled his temper better

this team is crazy
No wonder the ref sent Rodri off, he was pushing his willy into the other player.
Man City this season reminds me of Liverpool 2019-20. Winning matches consecutively.
helluva pass (and turn) by Rodri to send Walker through
