Jack Grealish’s Four-Word Shoutout to Erling Haaland After Man City’s 2-1 Triumph Over Brentford to…
Erling Haaland kept Manchester City’s flawless start to the 2024/2025 Premier League season intact by scoring a brilliant brace in his side’s 2-1 victory against Brentford.
City could not have undergone a worse start to the game after Yoane Wissa headed the Bees a lead inside 22 seconds.
John Stones sliced his attempt to clear the ball, which also struck Ederson Moraes’ hand and fell into Wissa’s path — giving him an open goal to aim towards.
Considering Brentford were the last team to win a game at the Etihad Stadium in November 2022, it seemed like they looked set to do so again.
However, Haaland‘s equaliser in the 19th minute initially brought City back into proceedings.
The Norwegian got the ball on the spin, swung his right peg at it and finished with aplomb as his strike took a slight deflection off Ethan Pinnock to fly past Mark Flekken.

What Grealish said to Man City superstar after Brentford victory
However, Pinnock would suffer at the hands of the £51 million man’s excellence once again.
In the 32nd minute, Haaland bounced the Jamaican international off before dinking the ball over Flekken to double his tally on the day.
Ederson reached four assists in his Premier League career with his well-struck punt aimed at the star striker.
The Leeds-born striker had more chances to further extend his lead as the Premier League’s top goalscorer.
However, Flekken was in excellent form on Saturday.
Jack Grealish sent a short message to Haaland after his exploits led Manchester City to getting the all-important three points against Brentford.
Grealish’s caption on Instagram read: “Four out of four and always feels so good to be back at home.”
“Not bad again son @erling.haaland.”
Man City could have dropped points vs Brentford if not for Haaland
In the first-half, Brentford had 52 per cent of the ball — a rare feat at the Etihad Stadium.
While Thomas Frank’s side also took seven shots on the target after the initial 45 minutes, as compared to the hosts’ tally of three.
On another day, the West London side could even have beaten City.
But Pep Guardiola’s side arguably have the most in-form player in world football currently in Haaland, who produced two moments of brilliance to steer his side towards a victory.
In games where the Sky Blues do not play their best football, as against Brentford, difference-makers like the two-time Premier League winner often ensure they can win despite not playing particularly well.
