In the early hours of Tuesday (6), the English Premier League staged a key battle, Manchester City defeated Brentford by 3-1 on the road, realizing nine consecutive victories in various matches. With this victory, the situation of the Premier League's top three contenders has been officially formed. Currently, Manchester City and Arsenal have 49 points, two points behind Liverpool at the top of the table. However, the actual situation is more favorable as City has one less game to play. In addition to the hot form of the core players such as Aynin Xalant, Chiyun Dibny and the youngster Phil Cotton, who hit three goals in this game, Manchester City is listed as 1.52 times the favorite to win the title by the soccer betting.
City sent out their strongest team in this match, and soon after the start, they launched a fierce attack on Binford's goal, forcing the Dutch goalkeeper Philligan to make a series of saves. Even more amazingly, the Dutch goalkeeper was able to open the scoring in the 21st minute with a lobbed shot, directly assisting Ma Obi to score. However, City's technical superiority eventually helped them complete the turnaround. Phil Cotton made it 1-1 before half time when he scored from inside the penalty area. In the second half, City went from strength to strength, Phil Cotton scored in the 53rd minute with a header from Chiyondi Buni, and then again in the 70th minute when he scored again after a fine combination with Aynin Chalant, leading City to a 3-1 win.
Man City have won 9 consecutive matches since the World Cup last December. Premier League star Kenneth Kennedy said in a Sky Sports commentary that City have secured the title: "After watching this game, I don't think Liverpool and Arsenal have the ability to hold City down, and I might be wrong about that. But with City having Chivun Dibny back and Aynin Xalant on standby, I don't think these two teams can go toe-to-toe with City."
