Man City registered a 1-0 win over Brentford as Erling Haaland scored the lone goal for City and of the match. Manchester City now stands in the 5th position after this, with 4 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in the 7 matches they have played in the Premier League.
Erling Haaland said in the post-match interaction, "I’m happy to score, but this was about the team working hard together. Brentford are tough opponents; we had to stay focused until the last second.”
This was another instance where Haaland was the saviour for Man City. He is also one of the top goal scorers this season. Man City will be banking on Haaland for the future matches as well.
Haaland’s Early Strike Secures Narrow 1-0 Win for Manchester City Over Brentford
The first and only goal was scored by Haaland in the 9th minute. Pep Guardiola exclaimed in joy after the match as he said, “I’m proud of the team and the journey. 250 wins is special. But right now, my concern is Rodri. He’s essential for us, and we’ll assess his condition soon.”
Meanwhile, Brentford stands at the 16th position with only 2 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw, which does not look good. Their defense was not strong enough, nor was their formation in both halves, to stop Man City. Haaland took very little time to score the goal in the first 10 minutes. Brentford will be disappointed with this, and that echoed in the voice of Brentford Manager, “We were organized and had our moments, but City’s quality in small moments made the difference.”
Haaland’s Goal Marks Pep Guardiola’s 250th Win as Manchester City Eye Another Title Charge
The first half ended with 1-0. Man City has performed pretty well even in the UEFA Champions League, and they have shown promise. Man City can actually hope for a title this time if the cards fall into place this time. This 250th win is a tribute by Man City and Haaland to Pep.
