In the first 30 minutes against Brentford, Man City's pressing wasn't quite working. Here's what they did to fix it

Manchester City recovered to beat Brentford 2-1 and maintain their perfect start to the season after Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland netted twice on Saturday following the fastest goal of the season from the visitors.

Yoane Wissa scored for Brentford after only 22 seconds — the fastest goal any defending champion has conceded in Premier League history — but Erling Haaland (of course) turned the game in City’s favour with two first-half goals to take his seasonal total to nine.
