Brentford are a weaker team, but they beat Manchester City at home and away last season. However, this is the first home game in the Premier League, with Manchester City avenging 3-1 at home, so the next game should be everyone's top concern! Brentford showed incredible resilience in the Etihad and they had plenty of attacking chances, but in the end they were equalised by Erling Haaland's goal to make them unbeaten in 24 league games!
Pep Guardiola used his best 442-433 in this game, with Ederson in the starting line-up, Akanji, Diaz, Stones, Walker, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, two midfielders, Bob, Alvarez, Foden, and only one Norwegian devil, Haaland.
After the referee's whistle, City began to control the tempo of the game, taking the initiative to create scoring chances with possession dominance and aggressive pressing. In the third minute, Haaland grabbed a beautiful pass, but his foot was a little wide and was tightly guarded by Hornets goalkeeper Foden, and then his two dangerous long-range shots failed to break the Brentford goalkeeper's ten fingers. Brentford's goalkeeper still couldn't do anything.
In the 17th minute, Onjeka dribbled a powerful shot from inside the box, but Ederson struggled to save. In the 34th minute, Milan missed a good opportunity to overtake their opponents. Walker received a pass from a team-mate and Bernardo Silva headed it in from a tight angle in front of goal, but it was just wide of the post. A shot from the near corner went wide of the line.
In the 38th minute, Babu broke through from the left side, got past the defender in front of him, and shook off Brentford's goalkeeper with a low shot, but the ball was saved by Benjamin Me, who arrived in time, and the Blues had to return to the dressing room 0-0.
In the 61st minute, in order to strengthen the attack, Guardiola replaced Bob and replaced Doku. In the 71st minute, Alvarez made a beautiful pass in the box, Haaland easily shook off his opponents and created a good chance, and after a beautiful shot, Haaland ended the league with a score of 1-0 against 21 opponents in the league.

In the 80th minute, Manchester City broke down the Hornet's defense again, Rodney passed the ball to Walker, Haaland dribbled the ball through, and then fired a powerful shot, but VAR ruled that Walker was not in that position, so the ball was ruled invalid. Although they couldn't open up the gap further, Brentford couldn't catch up before the end of the game, and they ended up with three points in their home country.
After this game, Manchester City have overtaken Arsenal and are in second place in the league, but are only one point away from leading Liverpool. There are a dozen or so Premier League games left, and it's hard to say who will win the title. Let's look forward to whether the Blue Moon Legion will be able to achieve four consecutive championships in this ancient alliance!
