He Manchester City caught up on the Premier League and he did it with the (almost) always formula: assistance from the Argentine Julian Alvarez and goal from the Norwegian Erling Haaland for the tight 1-0 victory against Brentford to reach 56 points, one below the Liverpool (57) and one above Arsenal (55) in a championship finale that is expected to be exciting.
Haaland, the tournament’s scorer with 17 goals in 25 dates, was the author of the only goal, which served to camouflage the lack of effectiveness that the team Pep Guardiola had during the Manchester night. The 23-year-old Norwegian, one of the great stars of European football, stood hand in hand in front of the goalkeeper to define a counterattack that began with a clearance of Julian Alvarez at the height of the central circle. And it didn’t fail. Thus he reached the brutal figure of 53 goals in 54 games for the Premier.
In this way, City, current champion of England, Europe and the world, remains undefeated this year with eight wins and only one draw, last Saturday against Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea, which included among its starters Enzo Fernandez.
Los Citizens They are one of the best teams in European football, if not the best of all, but they had to work to overcome Brentford, which is 14th with 25 points and five from relegation. He accumulated situations in front of the rival goal, but could not take the advantage. The clearest was 39 minutes into the first half, when defender Ben Mee saved a shot from Oscar Bobb on the line that was destined for a goal.
Pep’s team accumulated 25 shots, of which 11 went on goal, and Haaland finally made it 1-0 at 26′ of the second half. Then, at the end came the Android’s double, but it was canceled by offside by Kyle Walker in the previous action.
