Forest's win was built from almost nothing: Liam Delap scored twice and Matheus Cunha once against a City side that held the ball and lost anyway, Rayan Cherki replying. United and Villa traded the lead all afternoon in the season's wildest game so far. Elsewhere on Sunday, Liverpool won 3-1 at Crystal Palace and Sunderland beat Chelsea 1-0 on an Enzo Le Fée penalty, a result that lifted Sunderland off the bottom to 18th and dropped Chelsea to fifth.

Saturday had its own late twist: Noah Okafor scored two minutes after coming on, in the 79th minute, to give Leeds a 1-0 win over Tottenham, their first league win since September, lifting them to eighth. Everton beat Coventry 3-1 behind two Thierno Barry goals, and Brighton saw off Brentford 2-0. Four teams kept clean sheets: Arsenal, Leeds, Brighton and Sunderland. The league now pauses for internationals, with England hosting Croatia on Thursday, carrying a table that says Arsenal first, Brighton second, and chaos everywhere else.
