Brentford vs Manchester City Review

Brentford shocked the current Premier League champions, Manchester City, by coming back from a two-goal deficit to secure an impressive 2-2 draw. This result leaves City with only one win in their last 10 away games in all competitions. After their impressive 8-0 victory over Salford City in the FA Cup, City aimed for a fourth straight win but faced a team that has the second-best home record in the Premier League this season. Thomas Frank’s squad looked threatening from the start, with Mads Roerslev charging down the right side and attempting to set up Yoane Wissa, but the pass to Bryan Mbeumo didn’t connect.

Wissa and Mbeumo were causing issues for the City defense, with Mbeumo making a strong run that forced a save from Stefan Ortega. It wasn’t until the middle of the first half that Guardiola’s team created a chance, which fell to Erling Haaland. Kevin De Bruyne delivered a cross into the box, where Haaland was positioned at the back post, but he could only direct his header into the side netting. The Bees continued to pressure their opponents, with Keane Lewis-Potter breaking through on goal but opting to pass instead of shooting, leading to a clearance by City.

After the break, City came out with renewed energy, as Savinho made an impressive solo run before hitting the woodwork. They kept pushing, with Haaland missing the target by heading over the bar. Savinho had another opportunity just before the hour mark, but his shot hit the side netting. Finally, in the 66th minute, the pressure paid off as City scored. Savinho assisted De Bruyne on the right side, and the Belgian delivered a perfect cross that allowed Phil Foden to slot the ball into the corner.

Thomas Frank would have been furious at how easily his team was exposed, but they nearly equalized after Mbeumo rounded Ortega and sent the ball wide, where Wissa assisted, only for Nathan Aké to make a fantastic recovery run and block it on the line. As the Bees sought an equalizer, they were caught on the counterattack, allowing City to extend their lead. Savinho was involved again, and although his impressive run ended with a saved shot, Foden was there to score from the rebound.

With less than 10 minutes remaining, Wissa managed to score after being left unmarked to convert Roerslev’s cross. Just when it seemed City was on track for victory, their defensive weaknesses showed again, as Christian Nørgaard was given too much space in the box to head in the equalizer during stoppage time, securing a point for the Bees and ending their streak of three consecutive losses in head-to-head matches against City.
