Check out the thrilling Manchester City vs Brentford match where Haaland flaunts his scoring skills, and the Bees almost got the sweet nectar!

In a nail-biting Premier League encounter on Saturday, reigning champions Manchester City faced off against the in-form Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. The match was highly anticipated as City, fresh from the international break, looked to maintain their momentum in the league. The game got off to an electrifying start when Brentford’s Yoane Wissa scored a stunning goal just 22 seconds in, marking the fastest goal of the season. It seemed the underdogs were ready to make their mark on the champions.

However, City, led by the fearsome Erling Haaland, wasn't one to back down easily. With Pep Guardiola in charge, the team quickly regrouped and set out to turn the tide. Haaland, who has been in unprecedented form this season, struck twice to ensure City came from behind, securing a 2-1 victory. His performance not only highlighted his prowess in the box but also broke Wayne Rooney’s record for the fastest start to a Premier League season. It’s safe to say Haaland is on a mission this year, and Brentford was just one of the hurdles he overcame.

As the match progressed, City showcased their typical possession-based football, pressing Brentford relentlessly and creating numerous scoring opportunities. The Bees, however, put up a spirited effort, defending bravely and looking to catch City on the counter-attack. The decibels at the Etihad climbed higher as the home fans rallied behind their team, witnessing a thrilling contest that kept everyone on the edge of their seats. Ultimately, despite Brentford's impressive start, they couldn’t hold on as City continued their pursuit at the top of the league.

In the aftermath of the match, player ratings showed just how crucial Haaland was to the City squad. His exceptional athleticism and finishing ability have made him a standout player this season. Notably, Savinho also made his mark by returning to the starting lineup alongside fellow summer signing. While the Bees may have buzzed fiercely at the beginning, they ultimately tasted defeat against a determined City side, reaffirming that in football, every second counts!
