Nice!
Great game from the bees. Unlucky loss.
Not sure if really unlucky, there were 20 minutes in the 2nd half where Man City was really looking like they were going to score a 3rd one. But impressive gamee from Brentford indeed.
I’m surprised they’re so high in the ladder at the moment, I see they went under new management recently, is this why?
Last season half the starters were injured. We were absolutely ravaged. Barely made it out of relegation. So I think (even though we already now have 3 injured forwards) were going to do a decent bit better this season. Also the fact we had easyish fixtures helps.
I mean Man City def has better quality, but Brentford managed to play well, and do good both in posession and XG, beating man city, which is impressive.
Interesting!
Ah, I had forgotten about xG, makes sense!
Good to see Gungogan back
Yoane Wissa 1’ https://caulse.com/v/78441
Erling Haaland 19’ https://caulse.com/v/24072
Haaland is such a machine
Damn, almost there again for Haaland
Erling Haaland 32’ https://caulse.com/v/86314
Assist from the goalkeeper, lmao. Injury free Haaland is just on another level
I saw a few jokes about “he only scored two goals, couldn’t even make a hat trick, he’s washed”. This guy is just insane.
Would have been sweet with a hattrick of hattricks, but won’t complain about this either. I remember thinking it was crazy that Norway got the strongest chess player of all time, but this is even more crazy.
What the heck was that pass
Savinho, almost
4 corners in a row for MC, impressive
Good shot from Grealish
Almost there for Haaland
Surprised to see Brighton so high in the Premier League
