Manchester City showed their strength in depth on Monday, coming from behind to beat Brentford and move within two points of the Premier League lead. City were without a number of key players, including De Bruyne and Haaland, but they still had too much quality for a Brentford side that has now lost four of its last five games.

Foden was the star of the show for City, scoring all three goals. The England international is in the form of his life and is now City’s leading scorer this season with 14 goals. City’s win was also a testament to the tactical nous of Pep Guardiola. The Spaniard made a number of changes to his team, including starting Haaland on the bench, and they all worked perfectly.

Brentford started the game brightly and took the lead through Maupay. However, they were unable to hold on to their lead, and City’s quality eventually shone through. The Bees had their chances to get back into the game, but they were unable to take them. They will need to improve their finishing if they are to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.

Manchester City are the team to beat in the Premier League right now. They have a strong squad, a world-class manager, and are in great form. They are just two points behind Liverpool, who lost their match against Arsenal.

Brentford, on the other hand, is in a difficult position. They are just three points above the relegation zone and need to start picking up results if they are to avoid going down.
