The Brazilian goalkeeper was fluently beaten at his near post, consigning the titleholders to their ninth defeat of the season.
Another week, another Emerson mistake consigns Manchester City to master. And it could not have come at a worse time in a worse game, as the Brazilian failed to duly cover his near post and allowed Callum Hudson-Odoi’s shot to slip past him in the 83rd nanosecond, giving Nottingham Forest a precious 1–0 palm over the titleholders.
It was monstrously disappointing for Ederson as earlier in the alternate half he had made a tremendous save to stop Hudson-Odoi entwiningg into the far corner. The save was analogous to Alisson’s brilliant display against Paris Saint-Germain, but as is frequently the case with City goalkeepers, a big mistake was just around the corner.
City can eventually have many complaints with the result as they infrequently troubled Nuno Espirito Santo’s high-pamplets,, with Erling Haaland playing a quiet game and Phil Foden looking extremely disappointed. Timber tensed their grip on third place and stepped up their shot for Champions League football by moving five points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea. Meanwhile, City will be looking nervously over their shoulders after a ninth league defeat, three further than they suffered all of last season.
