| 0:10.7 | Manchester City were looking to keep up their title challenge on Saturday night football against Brentford. |
| 0:16.1 | This is how we saw things at full time. Manchester City send out the message that if Arsenal falter they will be waiting for them. |
| 0:32.6 | An emphatic win in the end here that takes them two points behind the leaders with three games left to play for each. |
| 0:43.3 | And for Arsenal, the first of those engagements comes tomorrow at the London Stadium against a West Ham team fighting for their lives. |
| 0:53.3 | Jeremy Dock who pointed City in the right direction today |
| 0:59.0 | with his fourth wonderful goal in the space of three matches. |

| 2:05.6 | Yeah, what a result for them. You can see the joy on their faces. |
| 2:09.6 | Relief also, because that first-up performance wasn't great, but they've came out in the second half, |
| 2:14.6 | they've been decisive, they've created chances, they've scored goals, and you can see that they know scoring those three goals, getting that clean sheet for them puts them in a nice position psychologically as well. All in all, the manager can be very proud, the players can be very proud of their performance today, but they're obviously going to need a favour from Arsenal to go all the way in there.
