Before the match, Erling Haaland left open the possibility of playing for personal reasons. However, in the end, the Norwegian striker still played from the start. With his high form, Haaland continued to cause sorrow for Brentford.

The away team took the lead in the 22nd second, thanks to Wissa. This striker easily headed the ball after Stones cleared the ball. After the goal, Brentford had 3 more chances in just the first 10 minutes of the match. But Nathan Collins and Mbeumo could not take advantage.

After being overwhelmed in the first few minutes, Man City quickly showed the spirit of a team. They continuously pressured the opponent, making Brentford struggle to defend. In the 19th minute, Haaland moved quickly, kicked the ball into the opponent’s defender’s leg, equalizing 1-1 for Man City.

This is Haaland’s 8th goal in just the first 4 matches of the season. With that excellent form, this striker received the title of the best player of the Premier League in August.

In the 31st minute, Haaland continued to cause sorrow for the “bees” (the nickname of the away team). He took advantage of goalkeeper Ederson’s kick, cleverly moving the ball between Pinnock, before finishing delicately past goalkeeper Flekken.

With Wissa injured at the end of the first half, Brentford could no longer maintain their fast attacks. Thanks to that, Man City found it easier to control the game in the second half, especially when Pep Guardiola sent Rodri and Gvardiol on to replace Kovacic and Rico Lewis.

The Etihad team created many opportunities in the second half, but could not score any goals.

The result of Man City 2-1 Brentford helped the home team firmly hold the top spot in the Premier League with 4 wins from the beginning of the tournament.
