Brentford have jumped at the opportunity to humiliate Manchester United even further following a dismal showing in the Manchester derby that saw United lose 6-3 at the Etihad Stadium.
Man City were in cruise control at half-time with a well-deserved 4-0 lead thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, both of whom went on to score hattricks.
Brentford, fresh from their 0-0 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday, took their chance to remind downbeat United fans about their own demolition job of Erik ten Hag's side earlier in the season.
