PREVIOUS MEETING

City lost for the first time at the Etihad Stadium in 2022/23 when a dramatic injury-time strike handed Brentford victory. 

Ivan Toney gave the visitors the lead, before Phil Foden’s stinging volley levelled the score on the cusp of half-time.

We pushed for a winner in the second half, but it was Thomas Frank’s side who would find the game’s third goal with Toney tapping home in stoppage time.
