Defending champions, Manchester City, overcame relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest 2-0 on Sunday to close to within one point of Arsenal and keep the destiny of English Premier League (EPL) title race in their own hands.
Josko Gvardiol’s header in the 32nd minute separated the sides in the first half. Erling Haaland doubled the lead in the second half.
Mikel Arteta’s team had thrown down the gauntlet earlier in the day, fending off a Tottenham fightback to win 3-2, briefly moving four points clear of City.
But the champions — chasing an unprecedented fourth straight English top-flight title — saw off a spirited Forest, with goals from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland in either half.
City remain firm favourites to land yet another league title with four games remaining — one more than Arsenal.
Third-placed Liverpool are four points behind City having played a game more and are realistically out of the title picture.
Forest, which last month docked four points for breaches of Premier League financial rules, remain just one point outside the relegation zone with three games to go.
