This result ended Manchester City’s run of 20 games unbeaten at home in all competitio­ns (winning each of the last 16), with this their first defeat on home soil since February (2-3 vs Tottenham).

Brentford picked up their first away league win of the season. Each of the last five teams to win away against the reigning Premier

League champions have been London clubs (Chelsea and Fulham against Liverpool in March 2021, and Crystal Palace and Tottenham against Man City last season).

Ivan Toney’s goal for Brentford at 97:16 was the latest winning goal scored against Manchester City in the Premier League since exact goal times are available (200607). Indeed, it’s the third latest winning goal overall in the competitio­n since then.

Manchester City had 29 shots in this match, their most in a Premier League home game they failed to win since April 2021 – a 2-1 home defeat to Leeds in which they conceded a 90th minute winner.

Each of the last four 90th minute winning goals scored against Manchester City in the Premier League have come at the Etihad Stadium.

Brentford have never lost a Premier League game when scoring first, winning 13 and drawing three.
