Haaland powers Manchester City to comeback victory against Brentford
Erling Haaland continued his blistering form, scoring twice to help Manchester City overturn an early deficit and secure a 2-1 win over Brentford in Round 4 of the Premier League.
The match, held at the Etihad Stadium on September 14, 2024, saw the 24-year-old Norwegian striker edge closer to a third-consecutive Golden Boot.
Brentford stunned City in the opening minute, with Yoane Wissa capitalizing on a defensive lapse to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.
However, Haaland, known for his incredible goalscoring prowess, quickly responded. He equalized in the 32nd minute before sealing the victory with a second goal in the second half, ensuring Pep Guardiola’s men maintained their perfect record in the league.
Haaland, fresh off consecutive hat-tricks before the international break, has now scored seven goals in four Premier League matches this season, solidifying his status as the top scorer and driving City’s push for another title.
With Guardiola’s side still unbeaten, this victory keeps Manchester City atop the Premier League standings, while Thomas Frank’s Brentford will be left to rue missed opportunities after their early advantage slipped away.
