Neil Maupay initially put Brentford in the lead, but Phil Foden’s hat-trick turned the tide in favor of Guardiola’s team, securing a crucial victory and propelling them two points ahead of Liverpool with just one game left.
Manchester City, the reigning champions, extended their winning streak to 12 games, aiming to replicate their previous season’s success.
Rumors suggest that Jack Grealish is discontent with the Manchester City manager’s consistent decision to bench him, now spanning four consecutive games. Grealish reportedly left the team’s training session prematurely due to his dissatisfaction, as reported by MCFCTone on X.
Despite making eighteen starts for Manchester City this season and being substituted five times, Grealish’s frustration at his limited playing time is understandable, even though few would question the manager’s lineup choices given the team’s recent dominance.
In their upcoming Premier League fixture against Everton on Saturday, Guardiola’s side has the opportunity to surpass Liverpool at the top of the table with a victory.
