MANCHESTER, England, Feb 21, (AP): Erling Haaland came to the rescue of Manchester City with a 71st-minute goal to clinch a 1-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League.
It looked like City would be dropping points in the title race for the second time in four days – after a 1-1 draw with Chelsea – only for Haaland to finally get some space behind Brentford’s defense.

Julian Alvarez played the ball forward on a transition, Haaland collected it and raced past center back Kristoffer Ajer, who lost his footing. One on one with Mark Flekken, Haaland took his shot early and placed a low finish to the Dutch goalkeeper’s right for his league-leading 17th goal of the campaign.
It was enough to move City into second place, one point above Arsenal.
