Foden’s opportunistic goal pulled City level (Picture: Getty)A tame cross to no-one was headed straight up by Ethan Pinnock and Foden was on hand to pick up the scraps and fire in from close range. With their 10th shot on target, City finally had their goal. Brentford simply could not handle Foden (Picture: Getty)Set-pieces were also causing City problems, with a Norgaard flick flying past the far post before another goal-bound effort, this time from Maupay, forced another last-ditch block. Toney, too, had a good chance to test Ederson but volleyed high over the bar.
