Jeremy Doku drives Man City’s title challenge and inspires win over Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 20:00 , Mike JonesJeremy Doku struck again as Manchester City kept their title hopes alive with a vital 3-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.
The winger scored his fifth goal in six games before Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush wrapped up a victory at the Etihad Stadium that cut Arsenal’s advantage at the top to two points.
Both contenders now have three games to play, with Arsenal the next in action at relegation-threatened West Ham on Sunday.
Jeremy Doku drives Man City’s title challenge and inspires win over Brentford
Doku is the main man
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:54 , Mike JonesJeremy Doku has scored in three successive appearances in all competitions for the first time in his Manchester City career.
The Belgian has seven goal involvements in his last six games (5 goals, 2 assists), as many as in his previous 24 (1 goal, 6 assists).
All three of Doku’s goals this week have either put City one goal in front (2) or drawn them level (1).
More from Haaland:
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:48 , Mike Jones"I haven't thought of any other game. Just tired playing this game.
“How we approach the next game is not think of any other games for two days and then try to win the next game. Recover. Then next game and the same again.
"If you play for Manchester City, you think of titles every single day."
Reaction from Erling Haaland:
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:43 , Mike Jones"It feels good to win 3-0. We just missed the last shot on goal today. We created a lot of chances and didn't get the last shot on a lot of crosses.
"Brentford defended well. They are a good team. There are no easy games in the Premier League. So we are happy."
Brentford slip to eighth
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:32 , Mike JonesThat loss could be crucial for Brentford’s hopes of reaching Europe.
They’ve now slipped down to eighth in the table with Brighton, who defeated Wolves today, now above them in seventh.
The Bees are also four points off sixth place with only two games remaining so this battle for the European spots will go down to the wire.
Full-time! Man City 3-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:24 , Mike Jones90+6 mins: Three goals in the second half is more than enough to secure the points for Manchester City who draw within two of leaders Arsenal.
The pressure moves onto the Gunners for their meeting with West Ham tomorrow.
City are just one goal behind on goal difference as well. The title race is very much alive.
GOAL! Man City 3-0 Brentford (Omar Marmoush, 90+2')
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:20 , Mike JonesThat could be huge!
Haaland slips a pass in behind the Brentford defence and into the path of Marmoush.
He takes a touch then rolls the ball into the bottom left hand corner!
City have a third.
Man City 2-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:17 , Mike Jones88 mins: Brentford haven’t offered much up top today. They worked hard early on and have had a couple of decent chances but too much play has been dictated by Man City.
It’s usually like this at the Etihad but Keith Andrews will be disappointed regardless.
The Bees started this match like they believed they could get something from it.
It looks unlikely now.
Man City 2-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:12 , Mike Jones85 mins: Man City are cruising towards the end of this game now.
Goal difference may yet play at part in deciding the Premier League title so City will want to score as many as they can before full time.
Man City 2-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:10 , Mike Jones82 mins: Doku again dances past his man and fizzes a pass into the box.
Foden is there this time and fires the ball at goal only for Kelleher to somehow flick it over the crossbar!
GOAL! Man City 2-0 Brentford (Erling Haaland, 75')
Saturday 9 May 2026 19:03 , Mike JonesAnother one!
It’s scrappy but the Man City fans do not care. City work the ball to the byline on the right side.
Semenyo’s pass is then deflected out of the six yard box to Haaland.
He takes a touch and backheels the ball past Kelleher to give City a cushion in this match!

No penalty.
Man City 1-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 18:56 , Mike Jones69 mins: Haaland is brought down trying to work his way past the nearest central defender, which is Ajer.
Ajer goes to ground and pokes the ball away from the Norwegian who wants a free kick but doesn’t get one.

Saturday 9 May 2026 18:30 , Mike JonesTo be fair, I don’t think the boos were aimed at the players but rather the officials who were being confronted by Bernardo Silva.

Saturday 9 May 2026 18:18 , Mike Jones45+2 mins: As things stand Man City will be dropping more points in the title race.
City need to score after the break but Brentford have been good value at keeping them at bay.

Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 18:11 , Mike Jones42 mins: If Man City score it’ll be because of Jeremy Doku.
He’s creating everything for the hosts but none of his teammates can get on the end of his passes into the box.
Can Brentford get to half-time without conceding?
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 18:10 , Mike Jones39 mins: City have started to take control of possession and they’ve forced Brentford to defend deep inside their own half.
Guardiola’s men are reluctant to shoot though and eventually they lose the ball.
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 18:06 , Mike Jones36 mins: Ake makes a run on the outside of Cherki and Doku and keeps the ball alive at the byline.
His cutback is sent out for a corner.
City play it short and quick before running it into the box and then out of play.

Saturday 9 May 2026 18:04 , Mike Jones33 mins: Man City are being encouraged by the crowd but they’re struggling to get a clear cut chance.
Rayan Cherki has a shot blocked on the edge of the box but that’s about the extent of City’s progress so far.
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:59 , Mike Jones30 mins: Save!
Great work from Kelleher. Doku again causes the issue with his run into the box from the left. He pulls the ball to Haaland who guides it towards goal.
Kelleher palms the initial effort away and then jumps on top of Ake’s follow up to deny City the opener.
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:55 , Mike Jones27 mins: Tijjani Reijnders is the latest to try his luck from outside the box.
He’s got time and space to shoot but the effort is always rising and flies over the crossbar without troubling the goalkeeper.
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:53 , Mike Jones24 mins: Oh!
Igor Thiago receives the ball and flicks it past the City defence for Schade to chase down.
Schade looks to weave inside of Matheus Nunes who collides with the attacker and takes him out inside the box.
Or does he?
The City fans want a penalty but the referee lets play go on and VAR confirms his decision. The replays show that Schade went into Nunes instead of the other way around.
A good decision from the referee.
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:50 , Mike Jones21 mins: Close!
It’s Doku again who brings the ball forward on the left but decides to cut inside this time.

Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:43 , Mike Jones12 mins: Kevin Schade makes a decent run through the lines but the pass over to him is, ever so slightly, too heavy which sends it closer to Nathan Ake.
Schade tries to beat Ake to the ball but collides with the defender and gives up a free kick to City.
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:40 , Mike Jones9 mins: Nearly!
Brentford come close to the opening goal but are denied by a goalline clearance.
Kayode’s throw in is launched into the box and flapped at by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The ball drops into the six-yard area but there are no Brentford players near it and, Bernardo Silva I think, hooks it clear off the line.
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:36 , Mike Jones6 mins: Keane Lewis-Potter swings a cross into the box from the left for Brentford but his pass is too high for any of his teammates to get on the end of.
The ball bounces out of play and the promising position for the visitors is wasted.
Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:33 , Mike Jones3 mins: Close!
Man City come forward through the left flank with Jeremy Doku in possession.
He takes on Michael Kayode who backs off into his own box which allows Doku to fizz a low effort at goal only for Caoimhin Kelleher to drop and push the ball away with a strong left hand.
Kick off! Man City 0-0 Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:31 , Mike JonesBrentford get the ball rolling at the Etihad Stadium with Mathias Jensen booting the ball long and up towards Igor Thiago.

Man City vs Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:26 , Mike JonesThe players make their way out of the tunnel and onto the pitch at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City cannot afford to lose or drop points in this match if they still want to win the Premier League.
Can they do it?
Kick off is up next...
The creator
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:20 , Mike JonesAll 50 of Jeremy Doku’s chances created for Man City this season have been from open play – it’s the most chances created by any player without any coming from set pieces.
Brentford's clinical striker
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:15 , Mike JonesBrentford’s Igor Thiago has scored 22 goals from 79 shots in the Premier League this season, a conversion rate of 27.9%.
Of the 67 players to have scored 20+ in a season since 2003-04, only four players have had a better conversion rate than the Brazilian.
Foden to come good?
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:10 , Mike JonesManchester City’s Phil Foden has only scored more Premier League goals against Brighton (8) than he has against Brentford (7), though only one of his seven against the Bees has come at the Etihad Stadium.
Striking first
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:05 , Mike JonesManchester City have conceded the first goal in just five different Premier League games this season.
The only side to do so fewer in a single campaign are City themselves in 2018-19 (3).
The 12 minutes of mayhem where Man City threw the title race away
Saturday 9 May 2026 17:00 , Mike JonesManchester City refused to accept defeat and yet, in the final reckoning, it may be the game that means they are beaten. It was the 97th minute when Jeremy Doku curled in his second spectacular goal of an extraordinary evening. City still have not lost in the Premier League since January, but it might have been the night the title slipped from their grasp.
“It was in our hands, and now it is not,” said Pep Guardiola. The winners were not Everton, though they were seconds away from their biggest scalp at Hill Dickinson, but an old Evertonian.

Leaving it late
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:55 , Mike JonesOnly Liverpool (19) have scored more goals in the final 15 minutes of Premier League games than Brentford (18) this season.
However, Man City have conceded fewer goals in this timeframe than any other side (7).
Dropping points at crucial times
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:50 , Mike JonesManchester City have dropped 17 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, their most in a single campaign since 2008-09 (20).
12 of these have come in 2026, the joint-most of any side this year along with Newcastle and Tottenham.
Fortress Etihad
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:45 , Mike JonesHaving lost their first Premier League home match of the season 2-0 against Tottenham Hotspur, Man City are unbeaten in their last 15 at the Etihad, scoring at least twice in 13 of those 15 games.
A tough job on the road
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:41 , Mike JonesBrentford have lost three of their four Premier League away games against Manchester City, with the exception being a 2-1 win in November 2022.
A tough nut to crack
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:35 , Mike JonesThough they’ve only failed to score in one of their nine Premier League games against Brentford, Man City’s average of 1.4 goals per game against the Bees (13 in 9) is their lowest against any opponent they’ve faced under Pep Guardiola.
Phil Foden signs new long-term Man City contract
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:30 , Mike JonesPhil Foden has signed a new contract at Manchester City to keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2030 after coming to a provisional agreement with the Carabao Cup winners.
The England international’s current deal is set to expire next summer but he will commit to a four-year deal, with an option of a further year after that.

Guardiola on Brentford's 'incredible season'
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:12 , Mike JonesPep Guardiola was very complimentary of Brentford boss Keith Andrews who replaced Thomas Frank at the start of the season.
“It’s not easy to replace Thomas [Frank],” he said.
“Incredible season, clear what they do and difficult to challenge them but at the same time, we have three games left at the Etihad and we’ll go for it.”
How can Man City win the Premier League?
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:06 , Mike Jones“It’s focusing on every game,” said Man City midfielder Rayan Cherki. “To be determined every second of the week, every moment we’re on the pitch, so that we can improve and be even better at the weekend.
“We’re taking match after match, we’re determined and the aim is to win as many games as possible. We know that the Premier League is not an easy league.
“It’s complicated and so that means what we never give up and the aim is to get as many points as we can between now and the end of the season.
“As long as there’s hope, there’s life, so we’re not going to give up.”
Pep Guardiola offers Rodri injury update ahead of crucial title run-in
Saturday 9 May 2026 16:00 , Mike JonesPep Guardiola hopes talismanic midfielder Rodri will be back from injury in time for Manchester City’s game against Brentford on Saturday.
The Spaniard has been missing since picking up a groin injury in the 2-1 win over Arsenal on 19 April, with City suffering in his absence as they dropped crucial points at Everton on Monday.
Pep Guardiola offers Rodri injury update ahead of crucial title run-in
What is is like to play under Guardiola?
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:54 , Mike Jones“It’s true that working with Pep is extraordinary because he has a vision of football that is very similar to mine,” Man City midfielder Rayan Cherki said.
“Always having the ball, always wanting to attack, always wanting to create. So, it’s really extraordinary to work with him.
“Pep gives us a lot of freedom to express everything we want, all our talents on the pitch.
“Defensively, we try to produce a team effort and then offensively, we try to express our talents all together, so that we can score as many goals as possible and simply be the best on the pitch.”
How close are Brentford to reaching Europe?
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:48 , Mike JonesBrentford come into this weekend sitting seventh in the Premier League table which would be enough for them to qualify for the Europa Conference League next year.
They are one points behind Bournemouth, who sit in the Europa League spot, and one point ahead of Brighton who are not qualifying for European competition as things stand.
The Bees are also within one victory of Fulham, Everton and Chelsea which shows how precarious their position is.
Any points against Man City today will be a huge boost to their European hopes but it’ll be a tough task.
Can Brentford qualify for Europe?
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:42 , Mike Jones"We've got a lot of work to do over the next three games to do anything like [qualify for Europe],” said Keith Andrews at Friday’s press conference.
"The focus is on tomorrow, first and foremost, but we want to finish the season really well.
"The performance levels, the energy and the appetite from the players have been there in abundance.
"Tomorrow is obviously going to be very, very difficult, but we want to go there and show what a good team we are."
Injury updates from Keith Andrews
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:36 , Mike JonesThe Brentford manager said: "The squad are good, they're full of energy, and they've had a really good week," said Andrews.
"I'm not long off the training pitch and there's a good energy around it; everyone's in a pretty good place.
"Vitaly [Janelt] will be a little bit closer now, with another week's training under his belt. He did well to even be involved last weekend, and we wanted him to be in the squad.
"Jordan [Henderson] will be involved tomorrow; he's had a good week's training as well.
"Rico [Henry] was back on the grass on Friday, but he won't be involved... he's not ready yet."
Man City proved they have champions mentality in Everton game
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:30 , Mike JonesPep Guardiola believes Manchester City showed the mentality of champions in their fightback at Everton and remain in the title race despite dropping two vital points.
City missed the chance to move back within three points of Premier League leaders Arsenal as they drew 3-3 at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday.
Pep Guardiola: Man City proved they have champions mentality in Everton game
Gvardiol is ready to play
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:24 , Mike JonesA final injury update from Pep Guardiola who also spoke about defender Josko Gvardiol.
“He’s [Gvardiol] training and feels good,” said Guardiola.
“It’s been many months, last season he was the important player for us with many injuries, he plays all the games, but the body says at one moment enough is enough.
“We are happy he’s back. Hopefully he can help us in the last part of the season and have a good World Cup with Croatia and next season we can have him again at his best.
“He’s an important player, central defender, full-back, can play different roles, he’s so fast and quick.”
Guardiola's update on Rodri
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:18 , Mike JonesThere is no certainty around Rodri’s inclusion today and Pep Guardiola confirmed as much in his press conference on Friday.
He said: “We’ll see this afternoon. We have survived without him for many months.
“Still he doesn’t feel completely comfortable and when he will be ready to come back we’ll see this afternoon, hopefully tomorrow.”
Foden 'did well' against Everton
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:12 , Mike JonesMore from Guardiola who explained that Foden’s return against Everton went well.
“He had good minutes and movements against Everton,” said the City boss.
“We talk about it. Phil, what is your biggest quality as a player? Turn and go and attack the box, don’t lose that.
“He is not a player to control the game. Your quality is being a machine to attack the ball with a sense of assist and goals.
“It happened two or three times against Everton in a tough moment when we were one or two down, it’s not easy but he did really well.”
No doubts over Foden
Saturday 9 May 2026 15:06 , Mike Jones“I said many times, there’s no doubts about Phil [Foden] and his impact,” said Pep Guardiola in Friday’s press conference.
He added: “He’s a homegrown player from the Academy who’s been massively important in our seasons together.
“I wish from the bottom of my heart he can come back and play his best years with us and help to continue the team to be what it deserves to be.”

Man City vs Brentford
Saturday 9 May 2026 14:30 , Mike JonesVictory is a must for Manchester City against Brentford if they are to keep the pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
Though they salvaged a draw at the last, two dropped points against Everton could be costly for Pep Guardiola’s side with their rivals now five points clear at the top of the table.
While Manchester City still have a game in hand, they will need Arsenal to slip up and must take care of their own business against a visiting team with plenty to play for themselves.
Brentford appear to be battling with Bournemouth and Brighton for sixth place and a success here would be a significant boost to their chances.
