**Manchester, England** – Manchester City continued their dominant start to the Premier League season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brentford at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The match began in dramatic fashion with Brentford scoring the fastest goal of the season just 22 seconds into the game. Yoane Wissa headed home a cross from Nathan Collins, catching the home side completely off guard.
However, City quickly regained their composure and drew level in the 19th minute through Erling Haaland, who scored from a tight angle with his second touch of the game. The Norwegian striker then put City ahead in the 29th minute with a brilliant chip over Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken after a long pass from Ederson.
Despite several close calls in the second half, with Haaland missing a chance to become the first player to score hat-tricks in three consecutive Premier League games, City held on for the victory.
Haaland now has nine goals in just four Premier League games, underlining his incredible start to the season.
The win keeps City at the top of the Premier League table with a perfect 12 points from four games. Brentford, meanwhile, drop to seventh place with six points.
