Maresca's dream start turns into nightmare as title hopes hit

Enzo Maresca left the City Ground on Saturday evening with chants of "can we play you every week?" ringing in his ears - the Italian's dream start as Manchester City manager is rapidly turning into a nightmare.

Manchester City are just the second team in English top-flight history - after Sheffield Wednesday in 1904-05 - to win their first seven games of a season and then lose their next three

Amid a sea of noise from the home faithful on the banks of the River Trent, the delirious Forest supporters witnessed their side provide a thrilling performance as City sunk to a third straight Premier League loss.

Maresca's leaky backline continues to make defensive blunders and once Josko Gvardiol gave the ball away for Jair Cunha to open the scoring in the sixth minute, City were on the back foot.

With Arsenal edging past Hull earlier in the day and keeping another clean sheet, City head into the international break searching for answers after a 3-1 loss and six points behind the champions.
