Despite Brentford’s resilient performance, Haaland’s composed finish in the 71st minute clinched the victory for City, reigniting their pursuit of a third consecutive Premier League title. This goal also elevates Haaland alongside Kane (32/32) as the only players to have scored against every Premier League team they’ve faced. Impressively, Haaland achieved this milestone in just his second season in England, underscoring his exceptional goal-scoring abilities and the significant impact he’s made on the English top-flight since his move from Borussia Dortmund.
Ajer’s unfortunate slip provided Haaland with a clear path to goal, and the 23-year-old maintained his composure to score past Mark Flekken, who had ventured off his line, marking his 22nd goal of the season.
In the first half, City attempted 17 shots on goal, with only five finding their mark. However, they demonstrated greater clinicality in the second half, placing six out of eight attempts on target.
With this victory, City surpasses Arsenal to claim second place and narrow the gap to just one point behind league leaders Liverpool. Looking ahead, City aims to sustain their winning momentum against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, while Brentford seeks a rebound against West Ham United at the London Stadium.
