Manchester City’s Championship Mentality Shines: Overcoming Early Concessions

City’s securing four consecutive away wins despite conceding first showcases their championship mentality. With 49 points, they now share second place with Arsenal, trailing Liverpool by just two points.

Brentford’s goalkeeper, Mark Flekken, previously considered the worst statistically in the league, showcased a remarkable performance in the first half, making nine saves to keep City at bay. However, Foden’s clinical finishing proved decisive.

The defeat leaves Brentford three points above the relegation zone, emphasizing City’s dominance as they aim for a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title. Arsenal’s victory over Liverpool also plays into City’s hands, solidifying their position as the team to beat in the title race.
