Man City visited Brentford in round 21 of the Premier League this morning (January 15). They took the initiative and created a few chances in the first half. However, the players could not take advantage to open the score.
At the beginning of the second half, Savinho unfortunately hit the post after a quick counter-attack. It was not until the 66th minute that The Citizens broke the deadlock. Kevin De Bruyne crossed just in time for Phil Foden to rush in and finish close to the goal, defeating goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
In the 78th minute, Mads Roerslev made a mistake and let Savinho steal the ball. Flekken pushed the Brazilian midfielder's first shot, but the ball went straight to Foden and he easily doubled the gap for City.
In the following minutes, Brentford still tried to attack. In the 82nd minute, from a pass from Roerslev, Yoane Wissa scored a beautiful goal in the 5m50 range. The match was tense with great pressure from the Bees in the remaining 10 minutes.
In the second minute of injury time, Christian Norgaard's uncomfortable header made it impossible for Ortega Moreno to block, sadly sharing the score with a 2-2 draw. This is not the first time Man City has taken the lead but then lost the advantage in the last minute due to a weak defense.
The draw kept Man City in 6th place in the table. Pep Guardiola's team has improved their poor form, not losing in the last 5 matches. Brentford temporarily rose to 10th place after excellently winning 1 point against the defending champion.
