Manchester City's chances of reaching the top of the Premier League standings were thwarted because they were unable to win at home.
Manchester City met Brentford at home with a good chance to be first in the Premier League rankings. However, they were defeated at home and lost 2-1 in a game that was decided in minute 98.
For Pep Guardiola's team, the game got off to a very difficult start as Ivan Toney, a powerful striker, surprised them by scoring the game's first goal after 16 minutes.
At the very end of the first half, the home team gained parity because, after putting a lot of effort into it, they managed to score in extra time thanks to the introduction of offensive midfielder Phil Foden.
The Spanish goalkeeper David Raya, who quickly rose to prominence on the field as a result of his consistent placement in front of Erling Haaland and company's intents, was the focus of the citizens' attention during the match.
When it appeared that the game would conclude in a draw, the visitors launched a fatal counterattack in the 98th minute. After a corner against them, the opposition quickly advanced to Ederson's goal, and Toney scored below the door following a dasilva centre.
Having fallen short of overtaking leader Arsenal, who still has its match against Wolves remaining, Manchester City sits in second place with 32 points, one behind the Gunners. With 19 points, Brentford was in 10th place.
