In the 2^nd half, Nottingham continued to play well but failed to convert their opportunities in front of the goal, and in the end, Erling Haaland, who replaced Jack Grealish in the 62^nd minute, doubled the Sky Blues lead in the 71^st minute after another assist from Kevin De Bruyne.

Nottingham can blame only themselves for the defeat as they finished with better xG than City but failed to score and remain in the 17^th place only 1 point ahead of the relegation zone where at the moment is Luton.
