Phil Foden secured his second career hat-trick, propelling Manchester City to a 3-1 victory against Brentford. This win, coupled with Liverpool's stumble at Arsenal, brings City within two points of the Premier League leaders.
Despite Neal Maupay's early goal for Brentford, Foden's decisive goals, including a crucial equalizer just before halftime, fueled City's comeback. The midfielder's hat-trick, completed with a clinical finish in the second half, ensured City's fifth consecutive league win and handed Brentford their seventh defeat in eight matches.
