Manchester City Redemption: Second Win Over Brentford Tightens Title Race

In Manchester City’s victory over Brentford, Kyle Walker received a yellow card in his ongoing clash with Neal Maupay. The animosity between them escalated when Maupay who had recently rattled James Maddison went into a 50-50 challenge with Walker resulting in the City defender’s booking.

Maupay’s forgettable night included giving away the ball that led to Erling Haaland’s winning goal. This marked City’s second victory over Brentford in a fortnight allowing them to close the gap with leaders Liverpool. Pep Guardiola praised Haaland’s performance and acknowledged the challenges the striker faced including a recent family loss.

The win was crucial for City as they had lost six points to Brentford in the previous season.
