Haaland has faced criticism this season for his on-ball abilities beyond scoring, with former Manchester United captain Roy Keane saying he could look “like a League Two player” at times. Told.
However, Haaland's instincts and ability in front of goal, along with the quality and quantity of his chances, mean he is the Premier League's top scorer with 21 goals.
“Haaland is a goalscorer, it's very simple,” former Newcastle, Tottenham and England winger Chris Waddle told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“He's not known for his link-up play or his dribbling or his skills. He's a goalscorer and that's what he's good at.
“It was a great finish and he passed it into the bottom corner. Having him back will probably make the difference.”
Previous seasons have shown that City know what to do when it comes to a nail-biter in the title race, and their performance at Forest was proof of that.
They were in second-best position for most of the match and had to grind it out.
But if they take advantage of the game they have and win the remaining games, they'll find themselves with another trophy in the cabinet.
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards told Sky Sports: “Haaland made a difference. His all-round game was fantastic.”
“They may not be at their best sometimes, but in important moments they get the job done. That's exactly what City did.”
