Rayan Cherki bolstered Manchester City’s title charge as the France star capped a superb display with the late goal that sealed a 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. 

Pep Guardiola’s side survived a scare from Forest to move to the top of the Premier League thanks to the inspired Cherki. He set up Tijjani Reijnders’ second-half opener at the City Ground and blasted the winner after Omari Hutchinson equalised with his first goal for Forest. City have won eight successive games in all competitions, including six in a row in the league.
