Manchester City returned to winning ways in the Premeir League with victory over Nottingham Forest.
Kevin De Bruyne started his first game for Manchester City since September, and it came as little surprise that the Cityzens won their first league match in two months.
The Cityzens went ahead early thanks to a Bernardo Silva strike. They did not let their foot off the gas after the goal and went on to win 3-0, with goals from De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku completing the treble.

‘Do you know why’ - Guardiola gives reason for hand gesture following Liverpool's loss
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has explained the reason for his hand gesture against Liverpool over the weekend.
Key match details
The hosts burst out of the gates, with Bernardo Silva diverting Kevin De Bruyne's header into the net to open the scoring in the eighth minute.
The Belgian went from provider soon after, as he doubled City's lead with a brilliant strike on his first Premier League start since mid-September.
Forest refused to yield, with Chris Wood uncharacteristically firing wide after a poor pass from De Bruyne. Anthony Elanga and Nikola Milenkovic also sent efforts off target before the break, while Wood saw an attempt blocked after the restart.
However, City's quality eventually told, as Doku collected Erling Haaland's pass and glided forward before delivering a brilliant finish. De Bruyne continued to pull the strings, hitting a free-kick that grazed the side netting and forcing Matz Sels into a spectacular save.
While Forest battled valiantly, they could not muster a late comeback, with Elanga's shot finding only the roof of the net.
