EPL: Why we beat Man City 1-0 – Nottingham Forest manager, Nuno Santo
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has explained why his team defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Callum Hudson-Odoi’s 83rd-minute goal secured all three points for Nottingham Forest against Pep Guardiola’s side at City Ground.
The result ensured Forest maintained third position in the Premier League table with 51 points.
Santo’s side is now four points ahead of fourth-placed Manchester City.
Speaking in his post-match interview, Santo said his players worked hard in defense against Man City and capitalized on their chances against the Premier League champions.
“It was a tough game. Everybody saw how good Manchester City are—they had us on the ropes, but the boys worked very hard,” Santo said.
“Of course, they were going to have chances, but it was then about us taking ours.
“[Beating City] shows the progress, but there is so much football still to be played. Let’s focus on the journey and move on to the next one.”
