That's all from us for today.

We'll be back tomorrow with all this to look forward to.

See you then.

Here's how things stand in the Premier League after that.

A blow to Manchester City, whose three consecutive defeats leave them vulnerable to dropping down the table. Victory for Brighton tomorrow over Brentford would see them leapfrog City in the table.

Nottingham Forest lift themselves out of the relegation zone but there are repercussions elsewhere for that.

Manchester United will end a day in the bottom three of the top-flight after having played at least nine games since November 1986 (21st after 15 games).

They will host Aston Villa tomorrow with a chance to change their situation before the international break.

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca speaking to BBC MOTD:

"It's quite clear - first half we didn't match intensity or win duels or second balls. First thing required in these games is intensity. We tried to react at 2-0 but it's too late. We scored one, probably could have scored more but in transition we concede one more."

Why was intensity low? "I need to analyse that. Today's game is probably the first that we lack intensity in the first 45 minutes. Second half better. Never happened before - we need to understand the reason why and try not to let them happen again.

"First one is a consequence of the way we want to play. We want to play from the back so this can happen. Second and third goals quite similar - we lost the duel then concede on transition.

"We are conceding too many goals unfortunately and we need to improve that."

How to change that: "[We need to] Use the international break to understand why and try to avoid in the future.

"Always concerned [about defeats] but we need balance - seven wins in a row not happened then three in a row. Need the balance.

"No panic. We need to understand but no panic."

Manchester City

Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku speaking to Sky Sports:

"First half we were behind 2-0, playing away to a side like this and losing 2-0 is making things difficult for ourselves.

"We are used to playing every two days - that's not a reason. If you ask me for the reason for our first half I don't know. We go behind very early in the game and that changes a lot.

"We reacted too late. If we had started the game like this it would have been different. We played without brakes, were very offensive and tried to create things. We scored early but a team like this are very dangerous on counter attacks."

On international break: "We need to be fresh minds, start again and analyse what we can do better and move forward. International break comes at the right moment for us to analyse and come back refreshed."

Nottingham Forest

More from Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I don't wait for a reaction, we set high standards for ourselves, not for anybody else.

"This is what the players showed today and it was nothing because of my words or because of Oliver Glasner believes it's important, today it was important for the players. It was important for the group, it was important for Nottingham Forest and that's what they showed today.

"It's why we got the result today and why we deserved this result."

On his celebration: "One of my best running stats, I guess. I will be fatigued tomorrow but I can be because it's the international break so I can have a rest!"

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca speaking to Sky Sports:

"First half when you don't match intensity and lose all the duels it's difficult. Then when we want to react, it's too late.

"In this kind of match, you need to match intensity and win duels, otherwise it's always complicated. First half we were not good enough in terms of duels, second balls - we lost all of them. Then when we went to react we were 2-0 down and in football that is always complicated.

"The first goal we are trying to play, build. The second one we lost duels in the middle of the pitch then the third one we lost the duel at the edge of their box. We need to match intensity in these kind of games."

On substitutions at half time: "[Marc] Guehi asked for a change because of injury - he had a problem in the first half. [Josko] Gvardiol also during the week had a small issue. First half we were not good enough, we did not match what this kind of game requires.

"Second half was better but we don't need to wait to concede one or two and then react. We need to start from the beginning.

"It's football. We won the first seven in a row and that's never happened and now we've lost three in a row - it's football. We have to try to be better game after game.

On whether players and manager are still learning about each other: "Absolutely - I didn't know them before and now it's three or four months that we are together. I think they need to know me and I need to know them. It's a learning journey.

"We know what we do well but we need to understand what we are not doing well and try to improve it."

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "You can never plan to win 3-1 against City because are so good.

"But today, especially the players and our fans deserve this win because they were so passionate from the first minute, scoring nice goals.

"We had moments to suffer but then we could rely on our fans pushing us, supporting us. Amazing goals and such a great team effort today so really proud.

"I think we've had better performances in possession because today we rarely had the ball. Regarding the team spirit, the energy, I think it was our best game.

"The way we play football I think we've had many better games but how we defended, how passionately we defended, how tactically smart we defended, it was one of our better games."

On outrunning City: "I think it is the only way you can beat Man City. They're so good, such great players, such a good structure and they move the ball so quickly. They can play through the middle, they have incredible dribblers on the wing and they have such pace. Then, of course, they have Haaland in the middle.

"You should control everything and if you want to control it, you have to run because you have to be so quickly aware.

"Of, course you can just defend but you also need to go forward and this is what we did today in the right moments, we scored the goals in the right moments and credit again to the players."

On Liam Delap: "When you come in with a price tag on your back everybody believes 'if you pay so much, he has to score all the goals'.

"I would say it's Liam's second regular Premier League season because he didn't play a lot at Chelsea. He had one great season at Ipswich then lost a lot of confidence at Chelsea, so now he's getting better and better into rhythm.

"These goals are his biggest strengths with his right and his left, also using his power and his strength. We knew that he would score goals for us and today, they were nice ones."

It's an unbelievable result for Oliver Glasner and the team, and actually a performance unexpected from a team down there. There have been many times this season where they've been unlucky and played quite well and not got the points. They deserved it today.

They were, from minute one, right in the face of Manchester City, forcing them into mistakes. And then when they did win the ball back, they had those moments of quality to score when they were on top.

Of course they had to defend at times against a really good City side, but that performance could be a turning point for Forest this season. The fans, the players' confidence, even the manager getting overexcited, it's not like him. We saw him running down the touchline, celebrating with the players.

It was a huge, huge moment in the season for Forest, and most people who aren't biased in terms of who they support are Glasner fans, because I think he conducts himself really well, and he's actually been unlucky in the first part of his Forest tenure in terms of points they've got with the performances they've had. So that's a huge deal for him and the club today.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest striker Liam Delap speaking to BBC MOTD:

"We've been performing well over the last few weeks just not been ruthless enough - today showed what we can do when we are ruthless.

"Three good finishes - Jair [Cunha] the first one as well. So important to get a good start.

"As a striker it's the most important thing [to score goals] - the only thing you're judged on. You can play well and not score, really nice to score. Got to keep performing and improving but today I'm happy.

"We know we will suffer against a team like City. We had in our minds we need to fight, to run, we outrun them and we won duels. We got chances on the counter and the match plan was bang on and everyone did really well - it was top."

On what Glasner said last week: "It's football. You have good and bad days and we had a fun Sunday but it probably brought us together. We have been working so well for the last few weeks. That was a poor performance but we've showed we can bounce back and the spirit and belief in the group is as high as ever."

What a way for Nottingham Forest to sign off before the international break.

For Manchester City, Enzo Maresca has got two weeks of stewing to do.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a very good day to play Manchester City but, to be honest, today, the energy in the team and at the City Ground was so incredible that it would have been tough for every team in the world to play against us today.

"So all the credit to the players and our fans for this amazing Saturday evening."

On his principles and standards: "It's not about me or my standards, it's about our standards. I could see a team today that was fighting for each other. Every single player left his heart on the pitch and, of course, we could see after the goal early in the second half, the quality and the pressure.

"When it was tough we had our fans, who backed up and supported us. Also the new players. We knew there would be times to suffer and bring in the new players to continue this hard work.

"A fantastic night and, I think, a deserved win."

On outrunning City by 6km: "Today, of course. But if you want to win against City, you need to do this. You could see how good they are, how good the structure is and how quick there are.

"You can't control everything. If you want to control the pocket, they have the great dribblers on the wing. I think we did very well first half and second half we struggled with their quick wingers.

"But then we started to control it and credit to Liam [Delap], this strike with his left foot is something you have or you don't have. Today we showed it and helped us get the win over the goal line."

On Liam Delap's performance: "We knew exactly his strengths when he can use his power and his finish with right and left is just amazing. A lot of things to improve, he's still a young man in, I would say, his second regular Premier League season.

"Maybe it is his third but he didn't play so often last year. Today no single player deserves to be mentioned because I thought it was such a team effort. We waited for our situations and how passionately we defended our goal in the box, I could mention everyone."

On importance of the win: "I think everybody felt huge happiness but also relief, to be honest. Today, it was a bit the opposite [of the rest of the season], we were very efficient. The first two shots on target were goals. The players just deserve it today.

"It can be a turning point but we have to prove it. Many players will go to their national teams, hopefully everyone comes back well and then we go to Bournemouth. The way we performed today should give us confidence."

Nottingham Forest scored more goals in this match (3) than they had in their previous six home league games combined (2). This was also the first time they’d scored three goals in a Premier League game against a side starting the day in the top two.

Manchester City have lost three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since a run of four in November-December 2024.

They have become the second team in English top-flight history – after Sheffield Wednesday in 1904-05 – to win their first seven games of a season and then lose their next three.

And this was their first 2+ goal Premier League defeat against a side starting the day in the relegation zone since November 2008 - a 2-0 loss to Bolton Wanderers.

There didn't appear to be a handshake between Enzo Maresca and Oliver Glasner after the full-time whistle but the pair did share an embrace during injury-time.

While Glasner celebrated a much needed victory at the end, Maresca had his head bowed and disappeared out of sight.

His City side have now lost three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since a run of four in November-December 2024.

What a night for Liam Delap.

Is he finally living up to the £50m price tag Nottingham Forest felt he was worth when they signed him from Chelsea for a club record fee this summer?

A tough couple of seasons for the England striker, who did well at Ipswich before struggling at Chelsea and hadn't fully got going this season so far.

But against his former club, is this the start of something?

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest striker Liam Delap, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's been coming and we've been performing like that every week and not putting it in the net. Today we showed we can put them in the net so we're all happy.

"We did everything right, we got the three points and we're going to be happy going into the international break."

On his first goal: "I just wanted to run and shoot, luckily I got there and it went in the net."

On his second goal: "It gave us a little breathing room. It's always tough playing City, you're running after them for 90 minutes so we knew it was going to be a battle.

"It was a perfect ball from Morgan [Gibbs-White], he's set up a lot this season that we've not been able to convert so thankfully we could put it in the net."

An amazing night. When Forest went two goals up, you thought City were going to get back into the game. That was the only outcome we could see.

But Forest stood strong in character. The work rate and commitment of the team, Glasner was pushing them on from the side lines. That's what you have to do to win a football match.

I came here tonight thinking City would win, I thought they had chances. This is a real hammer blow to them, there's something not right about the back four at the minute.

I've never seen a City team give the ball away so much in the middle of the park.

Enzo Maresca certainly went over to Oliver Glasner from what I could see on the TV pictures but the Austrian was shaking hands with his staff and it appears Enzo Maresca was in no mood to hang about.

I wouldn't fancy being in that City dressing room now.
