DOUBLE DELAP DELIGHT! 💥 | Nottingham Forest 3-1 Manchester City | Premier League Highlights 🎬
Jair Cunha starts the scoring, then helps keep Erling Haaland out. Nottingham Forest's quick-fire highlights have plenty besides Liam Delap's finishing, even if the striker supplies the moments that give the video its name.
Delap, who came through Manchester City's academy and played for their first team, scores twice against his former club. For his first, he collects the ball in midfield, drives past defenders and fires home. For his second, Morgan Gibbs-White sends him through on the counterattack, and his shot crashes in off the far post.
Between those goals, City make Forest work. Rayan Cherki pulls one back with a half-volley, while Cunha follows his early opener with a stop against Haaland and a diving headed clearance inside Forest's penalty area. The club has also posted a separate clip devoted to Cunha's defending.
The short highlights had drawn roughly 220,000 views within 17 hours, far beyond the channel's usual opening-day audience for this format. The comments were already many times busier than on a typical first day, too.
Viewers are discussing Delap's finishing with both feet, the celebrations and the BBC Radio Nottingham commentary accompanying the action. One supporter reaches back to Stan Collymore for a comparison; another singles out the sound of the ball striking the post for Forest's third. That finish comes with an equally emphatic soundtrack from the commentary box.
