Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side continued their unbeaten start to the season in a stunning 6-0 win against Nottingham Forest this evening.

The Norwegian just always seems to be in the right place at the right time thanks to his elite-level movement, mix that with his pace and power and you have what is quite frankly a monster of a footballer. Showed great movement and a smart finish for his first goal before absolutely rattling his second into the top corner. Could've had more goals too, looked a constant threat and showed he was more than deserving of his first Premier League start. Played very well in a deeper central role in the first half before looking even better running in behind the defence in the second. The criticism Foden received a few weeks ago for failing to pass to Haaland can no longer be levelled at him, with the England man providing another assist for the striker tonight. Essentially played as a winger in the first half and caused Forest no end of problems down their right-hand side. Nine goals in just five Premier League games speaks for itself. Also looked reliable as a centre-back when Guardiola switched his position. [Erling Haaland](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/erling-haaland/profil/spieler/418560) was on fire once again for The Cityzens, scoring another hat-trick after netting three goals just four days ago [against Crystal Palace](https://www.si.com/soccer/manchestercity/match-coverage/watch-all-goals-manchester-city-crystal-palace). Didn't put a foot wrong all night. The winger played a fantastic ball into the box for the striker for his first goal and was also involved in Haaland's second when he found himself in a dangerous area in the box. Was more involved than Dias in an attacking sense, had a goal ruled out for offside, and also provided an assist for Haaland's third goal when he leaped to head the ball back across goal and into the Norwegian's path.

[Mohamed Salah](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/173896/Mohamed-Salah)'s competition record of 32 goals in a 38-game season in 2017-18 already feels under threat, too. A second Premier League appearance for the 17-year-old who was good value for his appearance with a couple of decent challenges. Just ask [Joe Worrall](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/232291/Joe-Worrall), Forest's 6-foot-3 central defender, who was shrugged off with a heave of Haaland's right arm as he stabbed in City's first goal. The second goal was a tap-in -- just his third touch of the evening -- and the third a thundering header on the goal line when he got up far higher than two defenders in yellow shirts.

But even that eye-watering figure was never going to be enough to put them on the same level as Manchester City. It was a team selection that made perfect sense prior to kick-off. As the season unfolds, many expect Leeds and Fulham to find themselves towards that end of the table. Of the side that won promotion last season, only Brennan Johnson, Ryan Yates, Joe Worrall and Scott McKenna remained in the starting line-up. There are undoubtedly painful lessons to be learned from the humbling 6-0 defeat — and Forest played their own part in it, as they made mistakes that were pounced upon in ruthless fashion. Forest, of course, sit in 15th themselves, following a start that has seen more positive performances than positive results.
