Ten-man Man City show silk and steel to extend Premier League lead

Manchester City moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League despite having Rodri sent-off in a fiery 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

But the European champions did not appear in any danger until Rodri lost his cool.

Awoniyi and the Brazilian goalkeeper were then lucky not to also see red as they went head-to-head in a fiery confrontation. Haaland should have had his second when he spooned over with the goal gaping from Nathan Ake’s cross late on.Elsewhere, Luton picked up their first ever Premier League point but let a huge opportunity slip in a 1-1 draw at home to Wolves.

Pedro Neto still fired Wolves in front early in the second-half, but Carlton Morris’ penalty salved a point for Luton.Manchester United are aiming to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat when they travel to Burnley later on Saturday.
