Liam Delap scored twice as Nottingham Forest produced a result that few had expected, beating Manchester City in a match where the bookmakers had made the visitors clear favourites.
Delap’s two goals were the defining contribution in a victory that will be talked about on the City Ground. Forest had been given little chance against a Manchester City side with a reputation for controlling games, but the striker made the difference when it mattered.
For Nottingham Forest, the win is a significant morale boost. Beating one of the strongest teams in the Premier League against the odds shows what the squad can achieve when they execute their game plan and take their chances.
