Forest have breathing room. A 3-1 victory over Manchester City at the City Ground takes them out of the bottom three, with Liam Delap providing two very different finishes.

NBC Sports' match highlights drew about 370,000 views in their first seven hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for regular uploads. But the opening belongs to Jair Cunha: he wins possession from City's defense, breaks through and scores, prompting the commentator to say, "Just feel the relief in the place!"

Delap then drives through the middle on a counterattack and finishes past Gianluigi Donnarumma. City have their own moment of precision when Rayan Cherki meets the ball with a half-volley from outside the box, cutting Forest's lead.

The answer comes from Delap again. Morgan Gibbs-White supplies the through ball, and the striker sends his shot into the top corner. The comments repeatedly return to that second finish, while others pick out the quality of the goals across the match and the commentary accompanying them.

NBC Sports also posted standalone clips of both Delap goals and a studio reaction with Rebecca Lowe, Gary Neville and Phil Neville. Its Arsenal-Hull, Leeds-Tottenham and Fulham-Newcastle highlights were drawing unusually strong starts too, making this a busy Premier League day across the channel.

For Delap, the highlights include a quieter reward after the finishing: a standing ovation as he comes off, followed by an embrace with Forest head coach Oliver Glasner.
