Manchester City secured a seemingly comfortable 3-0 win over Brentford on Saturday afternoon, but the reality is that the game was a lot closer than the eventual scoreline suggests.

There were a few key incidents that could have swayed the contest in a different direction, with one potential DOGSO foul in the first half not given, and one Bernardo Silva swing of an arm that was only punished with a yellow rather than a red.

But perhaps the clearest error was at 1-0 in the second half, when Kevin Schade ran through on goal only to be tripped by Matheus Nunes in the penalty area.
