Haaland, who was in the starting XI alongside fellow summer rookie Savinho, proved once again why he’s regarded as one of football's brightest stars.

But, as they say, playing City is like a game of chess where every misstep is taken advantage of, and the Bees had their work cut out as City created a flurry of chances to secure the match.

In the end, it was Erling Haaland's brilliance that shone brightest in another demonstration of why Manchester City are the team to beat in the Premier League. The victory leaves Pep Guardiola’s side perched atop the league table, already eyeing the next challenge. For those still buzzing from the match, it’s worth noting that Haaland's current form has many football analysts likening him to an unstoppable football machine! With the result, City aims to keep this momentum alive while Brentford hopes to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures.

Fun Fact: The fastest goal ever in Premier League history was scored just 7.69 seconds into the match by Shane Long in 2019, while Yoane Wissa's impressive start is a reflection of Brentford’s high-energy approach, making them one of the most exciting teams to watch this season!
