Manchester City moved within two points of Premier League leaders Liverpool after beating Brentford 3-1 away in the last game of the 23rd round of the Championship.
On the pitch of the "bees", the club's teenager Phil Foden became a hero for the champions, who scored all three goals for the "citizens". The England international opened his account just before the break to level the score at 1-1 after Neil Maupe had earlier given the hosts the lead. In the second half, Foden scored two more goals in the 53rd and 70th minutes to give City the win.
This match also marked the return to action of the goalscorer of the "citizens" Erling Holland, who was out of action in recent weeks due to injury.
After this victory, Manchester City now has 49 points, two less than the first in the standings, Liverpool. However, Pep Guardiola's side have played a game less and can go top if they take their postponed match, which is again against Brentford, only at the Etihad. Thomas Frank's team is in 15th position in the standings with an asset of 22 points, three away from the danger zone. /BGNES
