Manchester City 2-0 Brentford: Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne on target as City open up 12-point Premier League lead
A Riyad Mahrez penalty Kevin de Bruyne goal took City 12 points clear at the top of the table, and though Liverpool have two games in hand, the title race looks over. Brentford, meanwhile, have now lost six matches in a row, and are, indisputably, in a relegation battle. Ad/> City started slowly, Brentford’s 5-4-1 limiting the space into which they could attack.
