Manchester City came from behind to end their recent hoodoo against Brentford with a comfortable victory at the Gtech Community Stadium. At the other end of the pitch, they were aided by the unbeatable Mark Flekken. The goalkeeper made nine saves in the first half before pumping a long ball forward and suppling the assist for the opening goal. Ivan Toney held off his marker to allow the ball to bounce through to Neal Maupay.
Maupay collected and slotted home a fine finish. He completed his hat-trick after a slick assist from Erling Haaland and the third goal ensured City were in no danger of losing their lead.

For a fourth away game in a row in the Premier League, City trailed. But like at Newcastle, Everton and Luton, the champions came from behind to win. I thought it was a very good performance. I thought we were brave and defended very well against the best team in the world.
We limited them to shots outside the box in the first half. The goal before half time was a tough one to take. Some of the things were good but when you face the best team in the world, you need to be perfect. I know I will do that with Manchester City and have to be ready.
Hopefully I can get more game time playing there. I need to keep going and showing this level of performance more often. There were ups and downs but we had to remain patient. They closed the spaces but we remained patient, controlled the game and created chances, which was nice to see. Man City have won their last five games in the Premier League, their last longer winning streak was from 11 August, to 23 September, , a run of six games.
