It is full time at Etihad and its Erling Haaland yet again who inspires a wonderful City comeback as they make it four wins out of four. City have overcome a resilient Brentford team who made things difficult for them today. They started off well, setting the bar high right away after the kickoff, and they scored after 22 seconds after Nathan Collins’ right-sided cross and Keane Lewis-Potter’s header back failed to clear the Cityzens’ lines. The cause of that disastrous performance was Yoan Wissa, who scored his third goal of the year with a header.
The 19th minute saw the typical suspect, Erling Haaland, score the equaliser as the hosts began to regain some confidence. He scored the first of two goals, deflecting the ball past Flekken, and then, 10 minutes later, lobbed the Dutchman following a wonderful through ball from Ederson. Even while both teams battled mightily in the second half, City undoubtedly came the closest to increasing their lead. Brentford, without Wissa and with a weak defence, might have easily let up three more goals in the second half if it weren’t for Collins’ committed defence and Flekken’s additional outstanding play.
Nottingham Forest stuns Liverpool with a brilliant counterattacking 1-0 victory to capture all three points, some 55 years after their previous league success at Anfield. After Diaz struck their post and Sels made a few nifty saves, Nuno’s team held strong for the opening hour of play. However, the game was turned around when Elanga and Hudson-Odoi were sent on as replacements. The former saw the latter through to defeat Alisson with a masterful finish, and a lethargic Liverpool was unable to muster a late rally.

Man City vs Brentford Live Score: Yellow for Brentford 86′
Collins is punished a little bit further up from the Gundogan infraction after a stop-start period. City then cleverly advances the ball, but De Bruyne’s last pass to Gvardiol is simply too long, allowing Flekken to claim.

Man City vs Brentford Football LIVE Score: Substitution 45+1′
It’s not a nice way to close the first half. They lost their early advantage and now one of their best forwards is injured. Wissa hobbles away to give way to Kevin Schade.

Man City vs Brentford Live Score: Substitution 45+1′
It’s not a pleasant end to the first half for Brentford. After losing their early lead, they’ve now lost one of their forward stars to injury. Wissa limps off and makes way for Kevin Schade.
14 Sep 2024 08:19 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Live Score: Highlight 44′
For Wissa, this appears to be far worse than at first glance. The international for Congo is unconscious and getting treatment for his injured left ankle. It could be necessary to replace him following the quite savage Kovacic challenge. It appears to be a wicked twist.
14 Sep 2024 08:17 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Live Score: Yellow for City 42′
Following a mishandled throw-in on the left, Kovacic is now pursuing Wissa. As the Croatian leaps in, the striker deftly positions his body between ball and man. The former Real Madrid and Chelsea midfielder is the first player in Darren Bond’s book today, and it’s a desperate one from behind.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Live Score: Update! 45′
Half time in hand as the score remains levelled at Anfield!! Both teams have had their chances but it remains deadlocked as both the teams fail to capitalise!
14 Sep 2024 08:14 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Football LIVE Score: Highlight! 37′
After Gundogan passes the ball to him on the left side, Savinho cuts to his left foot and curls the ball towards Flekken’s goal. Even though it’s online, the Dutchman visits it frequently. That would have been a great addition to City’s eight first-half goals this season with a bit more power. Compared to other Premier League teams this season, that number is higher.
14 Sep 2024 08:05 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Football LIVE Score: GOOOAALL!!! 32′ (MCI 2-1 BRE)
GOOOOAALLL!! ERLING HAALAND DOES IT AGAIN!! It was Ederson who produced a wonderful dink from the back to find the Norwegian, who was found by the keeper and he produced a composed one on one finish to beat Flekken!
14 Sep 2024 08:01 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Football LIVE Score: Highlight! 26′
Lewis plays it in-field to De Bruyne from the left side. He quickly evades Wissa with a ball roll feint before launching a low, wide shot with his left foot. That was incredibly fast thinking on your part.

Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest Football LIVE Score: Highlight 27′
Liverpool and Nottingham game remains levelled as the both the teams have had their chances but it still remains deadlocked!

GOOOALLL!! AND WHO ELSE BUT ERLING BRAUT HAALAND!! City are levelled, as Haaland manages to take his shot after he got inside the box and find the net! We are levelled at Etihad!
14 Sep 2024 07:48 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Football LIVE Score: Highlight 13′
Grealish dances down the left wing, but the ball is placed behind for a left corner because his dummies are read correctly. De Bruyne whips it in deep, and Gundogan can only pursue in vain.
14 Sep 2024 07:46 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Football LIVE Score: Highlight! 9′
A right-sided corner forces Ederson into a sprint save! Collins is unmarked in the centre of the penalty area as Brentford curl in the set-piece, and he pokes an attempt at goal. A nice response save from the Brazilian low to his right denies him.
14 Sep 2024 07:43 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Football LIVE Score: Highlight! 8′
To slip the ball away from Wissa, Ederson simply had to take off from his zone! After receiving the ball up the right side, Mbuemo found his strike partner in the centre, where there was plenty of room. Thus far, City’s defence has been almost ridiculous.
14 Sep 2024 07:38 PM (IST)
Man City vs Brentford Live score: CHANCE!! 3′
Another huge chance for Brentford as City look highly shaky at the back, giving time to Mbuemo to bring the ball down from a long ball, but the Brentford winger fails to capitalise to make it 2-0.

Man City vs Brentford Live Score: GOOOOAALL!! 1′
WHO CARES ABOUT THE KICK-OFF WHEN THE MATCH STARTS OFF WITH A GOAL?? WOW! Brentford take an early lead at Etihad thanks to a disastrous clearance from Stones as Wissa was there to head it in. Brentford are up 1-0 in the 22nd second!
