Brentford played in a spirited level Tuesday night with a 2-2 draw against Premier League defending champions, Manchester City. The Bees came 2-0 from behind to level the score line at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Phil Foden had put the Cityzens in the lead with two strikes in the second half of the game. The midfielder's first goal came in the 45th minute, just before halftime, when he received a pass from Erling Haaland and slotted it past the Brentford goalkeeper.
Foden added his second goal of the night in the 60th minute, giving Manchester City a 2-0 lead and making it seem like they would coast to an easy victory.
However, the Bees had other plans, as they mounted an incredible comeback in the final 20 minutes of the game. First, it was Ivan Toney who pulled one back for Brentford in the 72nd minute, when he headed home a cross from a teammate.
This goal gave the home side newfound energy and momentum, as they began to push for an equalizer. Their efforts paid off just five minutes later, when Yoane Wissa scored the equalizing goal, making it 2-2 and sending the home crowd into raptures.
The stunning comeback by Brentford means that Manchester City's lead at the top of the Premier League table has been narrowed, giving their title rivals hope of catching up.
Despite the disappointing result for Manchester City, Phil Foden's double will give the team's coach something to smile about. The young midfielder has been having a phenomenal season, and his two goals against Brentford were a testament to his growing reputation as a top-class player.
Brentford, on the other hand, will be thrilled with the point they earned against one of the toughest teams in the league. The result will give them a huge confidence boost, as they continue to fight for a top-10 finish in the Premier League.
