Manchester City took the lead with two goals from Phil Foden in the 67th and 78th minutes, seemingly putting the match beyond Brentford’s reach. However, the home team refused to give up. Yoane Wissa sparked Brentford’s comeback with a goal in the 83rd minute, followed by a stoppage-time equalizer from Christian Nørgaard in the 90th+2’ minute. The match nearly saw a last-second winner for Brentford, but Nathan Ake’s decisive goal-line clearance denied the hosts.

The result cost Manchester City the chance to go level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League standings. Meanwhile, Brentford’s draw keeps them in 10th place, still at a considerable distance from securing a spot in European competitions.
