Delap double condemns Man City to third consecutive Premier League defeat

Manchester City slumped to a third consecutive Premier League defeat on Saturday as Liam Delap’s double lifted Nottingham Forest out of the relegation zone with a 3-1 win at the City Ground.

Forest had not scored at home this season, but pounced on City’s defensive errors to strike twice in the first 20 minutes through Jair Cunha and Delap.

Rayan Cherki’s stunning strike gave City hope, but their title challenge is rapidly wilting even before the potential effects of a major points deduction.

Delap sealed just Forest’s second win of the season with an incredible strike in off the post on the night that could launch his career for the two-time European champions, after a difficult start since his club-record £50 million ($67 million) move from Chelsea.

Defeat leaves City six points adrift of leaders Arsenal and with questions over whether the uncertainty surrounding the club is playing a part in their on-field slump.

Found guilty on over 100 Premier League charges of breaking financial rules, the 10-time English champions face a severe points penalty unless they can overturn that verdict on appeal.
