Guardiola selected Jack Grealish in a central role while Josko Gvardiol, who had struggled during the winless run, roamed from defence and often ended up leading attacks for City and Jeremy Doku, who got an excellent third for City, threatened throughout. The win was the main thing, but questions remain for Guardiola going forward.

Manchester City won for the first time in eight matches across all competitions, as they produced an assured 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday. Pep Guardiola’s side came into the game having lost four Premier League matches on the bounce and they were on a seven-match winless run in all competitions.

Kevin De Bruyne was blasted live on Sky Sports for what he did as Man City finally broke their winless run under Pep Guardiola.
