A win is recorded as a win, it doesn't matter the competitive race. The actual scoreline on the minds of everyone that watch the game was different, I personally expected Manchester City to humbled Brentford with scores of 3 to 4 goals but reverse was the case, City struggle but finally end wining three points. If you went ahead and place wager on the Manchester City vs Brentford game, that means you're already eating good because City won the Bees 1 nil. It was a difficult game for the home team as they fought harder to net a goal against the visitors.
Brentford cannot be underestimated however, they can play well and can also surprise. Good defense and teamwork made them successful in preventing Manchester City from scoring many goals, at least Brentford did their best despite failing.
The match was exciting from the first half until the end of the match, it was a good match and of course tiring. De Bruyne ultimately didn't get playing minutes because maybe he wasn't feeling well, but Manchester City's intensity in building attacks was very good. Now the points gap is only 1 behind Liverpool, so the pressure between the two has increased.
