Erling Haaland scored his eighth goal in six Premier League matches as 10-man Manchester City extended their flawless start to the season with a 2-0 home win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The European champions moved ahead at the Etihad when Phil Foden finished off a stunning 46-pass attacking move by thumping the ball low into the net after being teed up by Kyle Walker.

Haaland added the second seven minutes later, timing his arrival perfectly to power home the delivery from Matheus Nunes after more wonderful creative work by Foden.

City were reduced to 10 men a minute after the restart when Rodri was sent off for appearing to grasp the neck of Morgan Gibbs-White, but the hosts defended diligently to maintain their perfect start to the season.

The win sees City remain top of the table, while Forest remain in 10th place.
