Manchester City dropped crucial points in the Premier League title race as Nottingham Forest fought back twice to earn a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium. Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring for City before Morgan Gibbs-White equalized, Rodri restored City's lead, and Elliot Anderson leveled again late.

The result leaves City seven points behind Arsenal in the standings, though they still have a game in hand. Forest's battling performance under new manager Vitor Pereira offers hope for survival, as they remain out of the relegation zone only on goal difference. Pep Guardiola's side dominated possession but failed to control the game in the second half.

Despite creating numerous chances through Erling Haaland, Bernardo Silva, and Phil Foden, City couldn't find a winner. Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels made crucial saves, and Savinho's stoppage-time effort was blocked on the line. The draw highlights City's inconsistency and Forest's resilience, with both teams facing pivotal matches ahead in their respective campaigns.
