Rayan Cherki sent Manchester City back to the top of the Premier League with his late winner at Nottingham Forest.
The hosts threatened to deliver a blow to City's title hopes after Omari Hutchinson cancelled out Tijjani Reijnders' second-half opener. But Cherki struck late to continue City's ominous form - they have now won their past eight games in all competitions.
