It was a really hard-fought win for Manchester City last night. 
I wasn't expecting them to have this much difficulty in scoring even one goal against Brentford. Flekken is really impressive recently and he gave his everything in this game as well. He got a 8.4 rating for this performance and I think he was definitely the man of the match. 
Haaland scored a really critical goal otherwise Brentford were about to steal one point at Etihad despite being overwhelmed by Manchester City during the whole game. Every single win is very important for Manchester City on the road to the league title. Especially after losing points against Chelsea home.
Although Man City were the stronger side in the match, Brentford played much better and the first half was a hard-fought match. But going into the second half, Man City managed to score a goal and win the match. Although Brentford did not win the match, their performance was commendable. Man City is slowly moving towards a good position, they are only 1 point behind Liverpool in the 2nd position in the points table. And now they have a great chance to overtake Liverpool.
