- 1:48Jair Cunha dispossesses Gvardiol and finishes past Donnarumma to put Forest ahead.
- 4:06Delap breaks from midfield, outpaces the defenders and drives his shot into the net.
- 7:18Cherki's half-volley from outside the penalty area reduces City's deficit.
- 9:37The decisive counterattack arrives, followed by Glasner's celebration down the touchline.
A run from midfield, defenders left behind and a driven finish: Liam Delap's first goal has some Nottingham Forest supporters reaching back to the Stan Collymore years.
That comparison is among the talking points beneath Forest's extended highlights of their 3-1 victory over Manchester City. One viewer recalls Collymore scoring goals like it; another invokes him by name. Others focus on Morgan Gibbs-White's disguise before the pass for Delap's second, or ask for a bench-camera version of an afternoon that sent Oliver Glasner celebrating down the touchline.
As we reported here, Delap's double settled the match. The longer highlights have since drawn roughly 150,000 views in their first day, about twenty times the usual opening for Forest's regular videos. The comments were also much busier than usual.
There is more to revisit than the striker's finishing. Jair Cunha takes the ball from Joško Gvardiol to open the scoring, then later clears off the line to deny Erling Haaland. Rayan Cherki's half-volley brings City back into the game before Forest's decisive counterattack.
The club has given those finishes room of their own, too: separate every-angle videos cover each of Delap's goals, while a Matchday Pass upload goes behind the scenes. For viewers requesting another look at the celebrations, the extended highlights already include Glasner's sprint along the touchline.

Liam's first goal reminded me of a player from a while back. Stan the man scored many a goal like that
@alanb8696See it on YouTubemgw deserves a lot more credit for that assist with the third goal. even as he's belting up the pitch, he's constantly looking to his right, and then sells the city defenders a perfect dummy by playing it out to his left instead, which buys delap an extra yard or so. quality finish by delap, but another top notch assist from my boy morgs also. coyr ❤
