  • 45'
    HT: Man C 1-0 Brentford! Half-time at the Etihad and the hosts lead thanks to Mahrez's 40th minute penalty after Sterling was fouled in the area by Roerslev. City have dominated possession, but haven't had that many opportunities. Brentford, have played for a 0-0, but they did have one good chance before the break and I think we'll see a different approach in the second 45 from them. Back shortly!
