Delap Double Sends Forest Past Man City at the City Ground

Nottingham Forest produced a shock at the City Ground, beating Manchester City 3-1 with Liam Delap at the centre of it. The striker scored twice, and both finishes were strikes the home crowd will remember for some time.

For Forest, the result is their first Premier League win at their own ground this season. It gives the home support something to build on and shows the side can beat a team of City's quality on their own terms.

City leave with a defeat that will invite questions, given the quality of the opposition they were facing. Delap's performance is the headline, but the scoreline also reflects a Forest side that took its chances when they came and held firm in the big moments.
