Rio Ferdinand pokes fun at Erling Haaland after Man City slip to their NINTH league defeat of the season at Nottingham Forest

Rio Ferdinand took a cheeky dig at Erling Haaland after Man City's 1-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon.

The result was the champions' ninth in the loss column, as they now trail Forest by four points. A win at the City Ground would have seen Pep Guardiola's side overtake their opponents in the table and move up to third place.

The affair looked set to end in a goalless stalemate, until Callum Hudson-Odoi found the back of the net in the 83rd minute.

Forest's goal hero was joined by Ola Aina in a post-match interview where they were asked about their excitement over their Champions League aspirations.
