Manchester City kept the Premier League title race alive with a convincing 3-0 victory over Brentford, moving to within two points of leaders Arsenal.
After dropping points in a dramatic draw against Everton earlier in the week, Pep Guardiola’s side responded strongly at the Etihad, with Jeremy Doku starring by opening the scoring with a curling strike shortly after halftime.
Erling Haaland added a second late in the match before substitute Omar Marmoush sealed the result in stoppage time. Brentford created several dangerous moments, forcing key saves from goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, but City’s second-half dominance ultimately proved decisive as pressure shifts back onto Arsenal ahead of their clash with West Ham.
