Manchester City ended a challenging period with a 2-0 victory over Leicester City on December 29, 2024. This win was crucial for the reigning champions, who had been struggling with form, marking only their second victory in 14 matches.
In this match, Erling Haaland returned to the scoresheet, and James McAtee made a significant impact in the second half. Savinho opened the scoring after a rebound from a Phil Foden shot. Leicester responded strongly, but in the second half, McAtee, substituting for Foden, initiated a counterattack that culminated in a Haaland header, securing the win.
Despite this morale-boosting victory, Manchester City remains fifth in the Premier League standings, trailing leaders Liverpool by a considerable margin.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest continued their impressive campaign by defeating Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park. Chris Wood scored the opening goal 15 minutes into the match, and captain Morgan Gibbs-White extended the lead in the 61st minute, assisted by Wood. This victory propelled Forest to second place in the Premier League table, highlighting their remarkable form this season.
The Premier League table now shows Liverpool leading with 45 points, followed by Nottingham Forest with 37 points. Arsenal and Chelsea, who have yet to play, are close behind.
These developments underscore the dynamic nature of the Premier League this season, with traditional powerhouses facing stiff competition from clubs like Nottingham Forest, who are making significant strides in the league standings.
