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.

Phil Foden settled the encounter with his fifth league goal of the season

early in the first half, superbly finishing first time from Kevin de Bruyne’s

whipped ball.

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.
