Brentford 2–2 Manchester City: Player Ratings From City's Stoppage Time Collapse

Manchester City are headed back home with just a point after squandering a two-goal lead against Brentford.

Manchester City came into the Premier League clash on a three-match winning streak and looked to continue their momentum against Brentford. Thomas Frank's side, though, successfully limited City to just two shots on target in the first half. Both sides went down the tunnel at Gtech Community Stadium deadlocked at 0–0.

Seconds after the Bees saw what they thought was their opening goal wiped away, Kevin De Bruyne whipped in a cross to Phil Foden, who found the back of the net from just a few yards out. The England international doubled City's lead in the 78th minute.

The game looked anything but finished though, and Yoane Wissa pulled one back for Brentford just five minutes later. The Bees continued applying pressure to City and Christian Nørgaard bagged a stoppage time equalizer to steal a point from the reigning English champions.

Pep Guardiola's side will be massively disappointed to return to Manchester without the victory. City have dropped points in nine of their last 10 away matches across all competitions and now sit in seventh place in the Premier League standings. Brentford, meanwhile, improved their position and cracked the top 10.
