(Football results) - Manchester City edged past Brentford 1-0 in the 7th round of the 2025/26 Premier League, thereby closing the gap on the league leaders.
In the early hours of October 6 (Vietnam time), Manchester City visited Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium in the 7th round of the 2025/26 Premier League. Showing the composure of a top team, Pep Guardiola’s squad claimed a narrow 1-0 win to return to the upper ranks of the standings.
As early as the 9th minute, Man City converted their dominance in possession into the opening goal. From Josko Gvardiol’s precise through ball, Erling Haaland made a cool finish, leaving goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher with no chance to save. After the early goal, Man City maintained control with a dominant possession rate, peaking at 71%.

Despite Brentford’s efforts to launch counterattacks, they were almost powerless against the opponent’s pressing and spatial control. The home side’s best chance was Michael Kayode’s header just wide in the 58th minute.
Meanwhile, Pep’s players continued to display discipline and their characteristic quick passing style, repeatedly breaking down the opposition’s defense with short combinations.

In the final minutes, Brentford introduced Fabio Carvalho and Vitaly Janelt in search of an equalizer but failed to make an impact. The match ended 1-0 for Man City — a result that temporarily lifts them to 5th place in the table with 13 points, just 3 points behind league leaders Arsenal. Brentford dropped to 16th and face the risk of falling into the relegation zone if their form does not improve soon.
