Manchester City beat Brentford: Goals from Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne
Scorers: Mahrez 40′, de Bruyne 69′; Man City extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 12 points with a comfortable win over Brentford.
Manchester City’s early dominance paid off when they took the lead through a Riyad Mahrez penalty, expertly dispatched into the top corner after Raheem Sterling was brought down in the box.
The league leaders doubled their lead after a calamitous error by David Raya who gifted the ball to Sterling. Raya saved the initial opportunity but the rebound fell to Kevin de Bruyne who cooly stroked the ball home.
