Nottingham Forest pulled off a league double against Manchester United for the first time since they were managed by Brian Clough, and it was United academy product Anthony Elanga who got the early goal.
Nuno's subsequent tactical switch and United's inability to break it down was as predictable as it was frustrating. Alejandro Garnacho showed his annoyance after several shots went astray, but a lack of goals from the whole team is becoming a big problem.
Despite that, there's confidence for the derby at Old Trafford with City still not themselves and Erling Haaland ruled out. Sadly, that will be the last derby of the season after the U18s lost to Aston Villa on penalties in the FA Youth Cup semi-final.

Jimbo’s joined by Pol Ballús, Julien Laurens, Rory Smith & Seb Stafford-Bloor as the domestic action returns across Europe with the end of the season in sight.
Inter remain three points clear at the top of the Serie A table after their 2-1 win over Udinese, while Romelu Lukaku scored the 400th goal of his career in Napoli’s vital victory over struggling Milan to keep the pressure on the leaders.
Over in Spain, three points is also the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid - who both recorded wins with braces from Mbappe and Lewandowski. Plus, Antony’s Betis just can’t stop winning in a fiery Seville derby.
PSG continued to romp towards the Ligue 1 title - which is now all but mathematically sealed - with an emphatic 6-1 victory at Saint-Etienne, while Strasbourg are on their best run in six years after their impressive 4-2 win over Lyon. Elsewhere, Marseille suffered a hat-trick of defeats as they were beaten 3-1 by lowly Reims - their first league victory since November.
And in Germany, defeat for Leipzig at Gladbach spelled the end for Marco Rose, with Thomas Tuchel’s former assistant Zsolt Low installed as interim boss. Harry Kane’s a step closer to winning his first title as he made it 58 goals in 57 Bundesliga appearances in Bayern’s 3-2 win over St Pauli.

A provocative title? Perhaps; in one sense, of course United (13th in the PL) are underdogs away at (3rd placed) Forest. But, perhaps it's not that straight-forward...
United's results were much improved in March, bringing a player of the month nomination for Bruno Fernandes and a manager of the month nod for Ruben Amorim. Meanwhile, Forest might be without Chris Wood, and maybe there's a distortion in media coverage of player form.
Prompted, in part, by comments from Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Laurie has been looking at player contracts to try and get a firmer grasp on the overall budget and how it might affect transfer business in the future.

Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho were back on the scoresheet for Manchester United as Ruben Amorim's side made easy work of Leicester City.
Managed by United legend and recent interim manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Leicester aren't the stiffest test in the Premier League right now, but there are real signs of progress after a difficult spell.
Even the news of a ticket price rise was met with relatively good humour as it was less than some had feared. We discuss the ins and outs of that, the international break, and our recent live show at London's Leicester Square Theatre.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Manchester United's senior management, and members of the Old Trafford regeneration task force presented plans for a new 100-thousand capacity stadium on Tuesday at Sir Norman Foster's architectural practice in London.
It's a bold design, and one that has drawn mixed reactions from fans and media. We look into the concept, the build strategy, and the persistent question of how this will all be funded.
Sir Jim has been conducting several interviews with media outlets this week and he drew attention with some eyebrow-raising comments about the club's finances and one or two players. Is it just refreshing to have a (co) owner communicating with the public, or can we expect better?

He's done it again, Bruno Fernandes may not be an alpha captain but as a player he leads by example and steps up whenever he is needed; especially when that stepping up is to a penalty kick.
Bruno holds quite a few Europa League records now, but in truth this was a team performance, one that will reassure Ruben Amorim that he can place his trust in some key players.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester City are up next, and it's difficult to take pleasure in saying they should not provide much of an obstacle to United's momentum.

There’s analysis of Arsenal’s struggles in front of goal and the type of striker that Mikel Arteta needs to buy as well as debating whether there’s a realistic prospect of the Spaniard winning a title at the Emirates.

Rio discusses some data which suggests Arteta’s side are still relying on their right-hand side attack to create and score despite losing their talisman on the wing, Bukayo Saka who receives special praise from Lescott who coached him at England and reveals his single ‘world class attribute’.

Real Madrid’s number one joins Rio to discuss his career and achievements after he accepted a title at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai. He reveals how players like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr. and Antony Rudiger integrated themselves into the Madrid squad and what they’re like off the pitch.
Courtois reserves special praise for Diego Simeone’s winning culture and obsession and credits the three seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid as a huge reason why he has achieved so much.
There’s analysis of players like Eden Hazard and Karim Benzema and reflections on why Belgium’s golden generation were not able to win anything.
Jose Mourinho played a big role in Courtois’ development so he shares stories about the ’Special One’ including how he intentionally blanked him after a match and why his constant striving to tap into the mentality of players may have contributed to players like Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah needing to move away from Stamford Bridge.

After spending 10 months in the Premier League with Everton, Materazzi also discusses how the game has evolved in England and in Italy and reveals who his idols were when he was beginning his career.
You’ll also hear why Zlatan Ibrahimovic wasn’t able to make an impact at Inter in the same way Samuel Eto’o did and why defending now is ‘easier’ when compared to his playing days.
