Manchester City will face Crystal Palace in the Cup final next month after winning Nottingham Forest 2-0 in Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
Rico Lewis got the citys to begin, as he received the passage of Mateo Kovacic on the edge of the forest box and fired ahead of Matz Sels to open the score not even two minutes in the contest.
Guardiola’s side was excellent in opening exchanges, saying total control. Nottingham Forest They were limited to the counterattack and struggled to recover from their mishap. However, the lack of openings in the clear city after they were in front meant that the forest was just a goal in the half.
Substitute Anthony Elanga should have restored parity immediately after entering the strip, but made its first effort from the Cross of Callum Hudson-Odoi. City He then caused the Swedish international Pagés his great lady to double his advantage through a head of Josko Gvardiol.
Forest had a mountain to climb, but they refused to surrender -Wembley’s rare day. They approached several times for half the deficit, with Morgan Gibbs-White twice by hitting the carpentry before Taiwo Awoniyi collided with the post.
The excellent margins were in favor of the city and the misfortune of Forest in front of the goal allowed Guardiola to play the last minutes with a little comfort.
