In an electrifying clash at the Etihad, Manchester City data-faced Brentford in what turned out to be a thrilling encounter. All eyes were on Erling Haaland, the unstoppable goal machine, who was once again set to make Premier League history. The Norwegian striker, fresh off a devastating start to the season, continued his incredible form, paying tribute to his late family friend Ivar Eggja with yet another masterclass.
Haaland wasted no time. Within minutes of the match, he broke Wayne Rooney's long-standing record for the fastest start to a Premier League season, adding another jaw-dropping statistic to his already staggering resume. Brentford, however, were no pushovers. They showed grit and determination, keeping the defending champions on their toes and testing City's defense.
As the minutes ticked by, the crowd could sense Haaland was hungry for more. Having already scored twice in his last two games, the fans were anticipating a third consecutive hat-trick. Every time he touched the ball, there was a ripple of excitement across the stadium. His sheer physical presence and blistering speed made him an unstoppable force, a "freak" of a striker that defenders simply couldn't contain.
But amidst the frenzy of Haaland's goal-chase, it was Manchester City's goalkeeper Ederson who proved his worth. Brentford launched several dangerous counter-attacks, threatening to equalize and steal points from the reigning champions. Ederson’s sharp reflexes and commanding presence between the posts kept the Bees at bay, frustrating their attackers.
As the final whistle approached, Brentford threw everything forward, but City’s defense, led by Ederson’s brilliance, stood firm. Haaland, despite his best efforts, fell just short of a third consecutive hat-trick but left the pitch to a standing ovation, having delivered yet another world-class performance.
The 2-1 victory kept City perfect with four wins from four matches, leaving fans in awe of their relentless striker and their rock-solid goalkeeper. Haaland’s quest for records continues, but it was Ederson who saved the day, ensuring Manchester City’s dominance remained intact.
