Match Report City keep up pressure in title race after Brentford win Jeremy Doku broke the deadlock on the hour mark with a stunning strike, before Haaland latched onto a loose ball inside the six-yar...

Manchester City kept the pressure on in the Premier League title race with a commanding 3-0 victory over Brentford, and star striker Erling Haaland insists the squad is taking it "game by game" as the season reaches its climax.

The breakthrough came on the hour mark when Jeremy Doku unleashed a stunning strike to break the deadlock. Haaland then doubled the lead, latching onto a loose ball inside the six-yard box with a clever flick to showcase his predatory instincts. Substitute Omar Marmoush added a late third after being set up by Haaland, cutting the gap to league leaders Arsenal to just two points—with the Gunners still to play West Ham on Sunday.

Speaking after the match, Haaland emphasized the team's focused mindset. "It feels good to win 3-0," he said. "We created a lot of chances and just missed the last shot on goal today. Brentford defended well—they're a good team. There are no easy games in the Premier League, so we're happy."

The Norwegian striker was quick to dismiss any talk of looking ahead. "I haven't thought of any other game. Just tired playing this one. How we approach the next game is to not think of any others for two days and then try to win it. Recover, then next game, and same again. If you play for Manchester City, you think of titles every single day."

Haaland's 26th Premier League goal of the season extended his lead in the Golden Boot race, but the 24-year-old remained characteristically grounded. "It's been an up and down season," he admitted. "I'm just trying to do my job. 26 goals is more than last year, so it's OK."

With Crystal Palace visiting the Etihad on Wednesday evening, City's title charge continues—one game at a time. For fans looking to channel that champion mentality, our latest collection of City-inspired gear is the perfect way to stay match-ready.
