FULL-TIME, MAN CITY 2-1 BRENTFORD. Haaland agonisingly misses out on a hat-trick of hat-tricks, but he's still way ahead of the Golden Boot.

Overall a thoroughly entertaining gamehope you enjoyed following it with us, and here's to a great rest of your sporting weekend.
City press up, De Bruyne takes the ball into the corner, wins a throw and there's the full-time whistle! No hat-trick for Haaland, but four wins from four for City to stay top of the table.
Two minutes of added time for the Haaland hat-trick Brentford press forward, good cross across the box but too deep and. City clear, counterlose the ballBrentford push back and a lovely ball is played through to Yarmoliuk who slaps a shot on goal but it slides just wide of the goal, much to City's relief.
[76'] SO CLOSE! Josko Gvardiol found himself as #ManCity's striker for a second, feeding in Savinho, who was denied a first goal for the club by Mark Flekken. @ManCity should be clear in this game. 2-1.
Walker blown for a foul but there was no contact thereagain, a difficult angle for the ref to rule on. The free-kick is cleared by City amid a Brentford playing going to ground in the box, but no contact, no penalty.
