Before the African Cup of Nations began, the Premier League title race began to lose suspense. Liverpool lost this round of the Premier League, Chelsea drew, Manchester City with De Bruyne assisted Foden to win, 1-0 away to Brentford, not only won ten consecutive league games, but also led the Premier League table with an 8-point advantage. Next month, the African Cup of Nations opens, Liverpool will lose Salah, Mane, Keita; Chelsea attack is too poor, Pulisic, Ziyech and other people are not enough to play the main force in the giants; Manchester City has no opponent in the Premier League title this season, after 8 points of advantage, before the Champions League knockout rounds open, Manchester City's advantage will be opened, it can be said that the Premier League this season's championship has come to an early end.
In the whole game, Manchester City's possession rate was as high as 76%, of which Manchester City had 12 shots on goal, which was twice that of Brentford, of which Manchester City had 3 shots on target and Brentford had 2 shots on target. It can be seen from the Manchester City game that as long as the opponent does not shoot, there will be no tragedy! At the same time, as long as Manchester City leads 1-0 and the opponent does not attack strongly, they will pass the ball and get the ball around, and the time of a game will pass.
