Steve Cooper vowed to ensure Nottingham Forest quickly bounce back from a 6-0 thumping at Manchester City.
The reigning Premier League champions were a class apart at the Etihad Stadium. Erling Haaland bagged a first-half hat-trick to put them firmly in control, with Julian Alvarez hitting a brace in the second half and Joao Cancelo also getting on the scoresheet.
Reds boss Cooper admitted his side didn’t help themselves, with errors punished and a bit of “naivety” shown. However, he stressed his team’s season will not be defined by results against the likes of City, but more how they recover from them, with a home game against Bournemouth next up on Saturday.
