PLAYER RATINGS: Phil Foden put in a five-star performance during Man City's win against Brentford, as Kevin De Bruyne pulled the strings from midfield... and Erling Haaland has a quiet return to the starting line-up

On Monday night, Manchester City stormed to a comfortable 3-1 victory over Brentford as they maintained their Premier League title push.

Phil Foden grabbed his second career hat-trick on the night, after scoring one just before half-time and two more in the second period at the GTech Community Stadium.

Neal Maupay had given the hosts a surprise lead early on, after sneaking behind the City defence, but it wasn't enough for the Bees on the night.

City moved up to second in the table - just two points behind Liverpool with a game in hand - while Brentford remian in 15th.
