EPL: Guardiola names player who sank Man City in 2-1 loss to Brentford

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has named striker Ivan Toney as the player who created problems for his team during their Premier League 2-1 defeat to Brentford on Saturday.

Toney was impressive for Brentford as they defeated Man City at the Etihad Stadium.

The England striker scored two goals to ensure Thomas Frank’s side defeated the Premier League champions in front of their home fans.

However, Phil Foden did score a goal for Man City against the visitors.

“We could not win any ball because when Toney flicked the ball, he created problems, when Toney kept the ball and played with the three players in the middle, he created problems.

“And we could not regain the ball in the end,” Guardiola said at his post-match press conference after the match.

The result means Man City still maintain the second position on the log behind Arsenal with 32 points from 14 matches.
