No, not all the problems are resolved on the Manchester City side. After an incredible series of nine defeats in 12 matches in all competitions, Pep Guardiola’s team seemed to be doing better with two victories in the league, and a very easy success against Salford (8-0) in the FA Cup.
At Brentford, Man City were going for four in a row. The Skyblues quietly led 2-0, following a double from Phil Foden (66th, 78th), who finally seems to be gaining momentum after a sluggish start to the season.
One week from PSG…
But Man City fell back into their mistakes: two goals conceded at the end of the match, from Yoane Wissa (82nd) and Cristian Norgaard (90th+2), to let two new points slip away.
In the standings, the Citizens miss the opportunity to get closer to the Top 4, while Chelsea were held by Bournemouth (2-2). And the manner is not reassuring one week before the clash against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
