It has been a difficult spell for Brentford’s Irish international.
Ireland international Nathan Collins was dropped from the Bees’ starting XI after a difficult spell, as Thomas Frank’s men went close to causing another setback to City’s title hopes.The prolific Norwegian, who spurned a host of chances in a frustrating draw with Chelsea at the weekend, returned to form as he broke the deadlock in a tight encounter at the Etihad Stadium after 71 minutes.
Advertisement Brentford were the last team to beat City at home in November 2022 and, having also tested them in a 3-1 loss earlier this month, again caused them problems. Yoane Wissa was denied a chance to shoot by a fine John Stones tackle and Frank Onyeka should have done better than firing straight at Ederson after being played through on goal.
Manuel Akanji had a good strike from distance tipped over by Flekken and Ruben Dias saw a header pushed away. Guardiola tried to enliven proceedings by introducing Jeremy Doku on the hour, but the Bees responded by sending on the abrasive Neal Maupay, who clashed with Kyle Walker in the sides’ recent meeting.
