NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Erling Haaland came off the bench and sealed a 2-0 win for Manchester City over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday.

Haaland had missed the previous two games through injury and was only named as a substitute for City’s trip to the City Ground.

But he was quickly back among the goals after a typically deadly finish just nine minutes after coming on.

Victory saw second-place City close the gap on league leader Arsenal back to one point after its title rival beat Tottenham 3-2 earlier in the day.

Haaland’s goal, meanwhile, saw him move ahead of Chelsea’s Cole Palmer as the league’s leading scorer with 21 goals this season.

City has a game in hand on Arsenal and will lift a fourth-straight title if it wins its remaining four games this season. It would also be its sixth title in seven years during a period of almost complete domestic dominance.
