Erling Haaland scored a vital winner 19 minutes from time as Manchester City defeated Brentford 1-0 in Premier League summit.
Brentford defender Kristoffer Ajer appeared to have the situation under control when Julian Alvarez played a pass into the visitors’ half as City countered.
Haaland began the chase, Ajer slipped and could not regain his feet as the Norwegian sped past.
The 23-year-old kept his cool to beat Mark Flekken with a precise shot. It was Haaland’s 22nd goal of the season and means he has now scored against every Premier League opponent he has faced.
