Man City close up to Arsenal after win to Brentford
Man City 3-0 Brentford: This makes two points gap to reach Arsenal
Man City beat Brentford to close the gap to Arsenal to two points; Jeremy Doku opened scoring as Haaland did so in 75th minute and Omary Marmoush.
Manchester City moved two points behind Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table and boosted their goal difference as three second-half goals clinched a big win over Brentford.
Jeremy Doku, whose double salvaged a 3-3 draw with Everton on Monday, produced an almost identical curling finish to break the deadlock in the 60th minute before Haaland backheeled a close-range second then set up the third for Omar Marmoush.
Brentford were aggrieved by several refereeing decisions that went against them, the first of which saw Matheus Nunes cleared by VAR after a last-man challenge on Kevin Schade which sent the Brentford forward tumbling to the ground.
