Man City cut Arsenal's lead to two points with win over Brentford

MANCHESTER, England, May 9 : Manchester City kept the Premier League title race bubbling with a 3-0 win over Brentford on Saturday thanks to second-half goals by Jeremy Doku, Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush as they cut the gap with leaders Arsenal to two points with three games left.
