We were held to a 1-1 draw against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, but the point saw us go four points clear at the top of the table.
We took the lead when Noni Madueke superbly headed in just past the hour mark, but 10 minutes later Keane Lewis-Potter netted himself in the air after a long throw caused problems.
Both teams had late chances to win it, with Brazilians Thiago Silva and Gabriel Martinelli finding themselves in positions to snatch a dramatic victory ins toppage-time, but neither took one and the points were shared.
Stale first half
After Manchester City had trimmed our six-point advantage the previous night, a meeting between the league leaders who’d won four on the bounce and a Bees team have been beaten just twice in 12 on their own patch this term was always likely to be a tight affair, and that showed in the first half with both sides cancelling each other out.
