Nottingham Forest secured an unlikely point as Chris Wood’s late equaliser wrecked Manchester City’s hopes of returning to the top of the Premier League.
City looked set to go top again after Arsenal’s lunchtime win over Aston Villa when they went ahead through Bernardo Silva’s first-half strike. But a string of missed chances after the break, including two from Erling Haaland, proved costly and Wood’s first goal for Forest in the 84th minute saw them take a point.
The point has been greeted with both delight and surprise by Forest fans, with many praising January signing Wood, who has come in for criticism for his early performances since arriving from Newcastle United.
