Manchester City F.C. moved within two points of Premier League leaders Arsenal F.C. after a comfortable 3-0 victory over Brentford F.C. at the Etihad Stadium.
The match was difficult for City in the first half as Brentford defended strongly and limited clear chances. Striker Erling Haaland missed a few opportunities, while home supporters also showed frustration with some decisions from the referee.
City finally broke the deadlock in the second half through Jérémy Doku, who scored with a fine curling effort.
Haaland later doubled the lead after finishing from close range to give Pep Guardiola’s side full control of the game.
Substitute Omar Marmoush added the third goal late in the match after receiving a neat pass from Haaland and calmly finishing into the far corner.
The important victory keeps the pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
Arsenal will now face West Ham United F.C. in their next match knowing they cannot afford to drop points as Manchester City continue their chase for another league title.
