Omar Marmoush scored in stoppage time as Manchester City beat Brentford 3-0 to keep pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
Omar Marmoush ended his goalless spell with a stoppage-time goal as Manchester City beat Brentford 3-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
The Egyptian forward scored in the 92nd minute after coming on as a second-half substitute. Jeremy Doku opened the scoring in the 60th minute, before Erling Haaland doubled City’s lead in the 75th.
Marmoush replaced Rayan Cherki in the 60th minute, alongside Phil Foden, as Pep Guardiola changed his attacking options. Haaland, who had already scored, later supplied the assist for Marmoush’s goal.
The goal gave Marmoush another scoring contribution in a season in which he has moved between starting and substitute roles. He last scored against Newcastle United in the FA Cup in March, netting a brace and helping City reach the quarter-finals.
The win moved Manchester City to 74 points, two points behind Premier League leaders Arsenal. The Gunners still need to drop points in the final three matches for City to have a chance of winning the title.
