Man City take victory over Brentford
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says the Premier League title race
is far from over despite seeing his side end 2021 eight points clear at the
top of the table after victory over Brentford.
With Chelsea being held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton earlier on Wednesday and
Liverpool losing 1-0 to Leicester the day before, City capitalised by seeing
off a spirited Brentford side.
The win was City’s 10th in a row and leaves them in a commanding position
at the top.
The previous two occasions City rounded off December in first place in the
Premier League – in 2011-12 and 2017-18 – they went on to win the title.
Brentford, meanwhile, remain 14th with 20 points – nine clear of the
relegation zone as they look to ensure a second season in the top flight.
