Manchester City kept the Premier League title race alive with a decisive 3-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday. Second-half goals from Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland, and Omar Marmoush cut Arsenal's lead to just two points with three games left.
City now have 74 points from 35 matches. However, their draw at Everton on Monday means they need Arsenal-who face a struggling West Ham United on Sunday-to drop points in one of their remaining games to have a shot at the title.
For much of the match at The Etihad, Brentford held firm. Then, just after the hour mark, Doku produced a moment of brilliance, cutting inside from the left and curling a right-foot shot into the top corner. Haaland doubled the lead in the 75th minute, bundling the ball home with a back-heel from close range past goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. Marmoush sealed the win deep in injury time.
City remain unbeaten in the league since January, a relentless run that has turned the final weeks of the season into a breathless title chase.
