Dazzling Brentford’s Ivan Toney has at Etihad today crippled the winning machine of defending champions Manchester City.
Man City will go on break with a 1-2 defeat against Brentford at Etihad as players travel to Qatar for the World Cup tournament.
Brentford piled pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side and it paid off when Ivan Toney scored in fifteen minutes to give the visitors the lead.
Phil Foden’s feeble efforts got the equaliser to make 1-1 for the hosts scoring at 45+1 minutes just before the game went to the break.
Manchester City tried to dominate the game with a couple of chances missed from Kevin De Bryne and Erling Haaland.
The hosts got punished, when the Brentfords had a counter-attack which saw Toney converting Josh Dasilva’s pass at 90+8 minutes.
Man City’s defeat will see Arsenal top the league table at Christmas for the first time in ten years.
