Manchester City v Brentford player ratings: Foden 7, Haaland 5; Toney 9, Mee 8

Premier League champions stunned at home before World Cup break

• 

  MANCHESTER CITY RATINGS: Ederson – 6 Called into action after Onyeka was placed through, the Brazilian had to make a strong block to deny the midfielder. Busy throughout but couldn't do much about the goals. Getty

• 

  John Stones – 5 Again playing at right-back, Stones tried to drive forward when he could, but he looked unsteady in his role. He was also guilty of playing everyone onside for Brentford’s first. Reuters

• 

  Manuel Akanji – 5 In the build-up to the Brentford goal, Akanji was beaten in the air by Mee, who headed it into Toney’s path. At the opposite end, he fired an effort high and wide from distance in stoppage time. Reuters

• 

  Aymeric Laporte – 7 The Spaniard let Toney get the wrong side of him for Brentford’s first. Later, he managed to shake off a nasty head wound before misfiring from just outside the box. EPA

• 

  Joao Cancelo – 6 Gave away the free-kick which Toney would score from. He saw a low strike deflected wide of Raya’s goal, before forcing the Brentford goalkeeper to push another shot out for a corner. Booked for diving. AP

• 

  Kevin De Bruyne – 6 Lost the ball early on for Onyeka’s chance, but the Belgian was City’s best player in the first half, consistently driving forward. Lacked the normal quality of his passes at times and forced Raya into a comfortable low save from distance. Denied Toney a hat-trick late on. EPA

• 

  Rodri – 6 Grew into the game and had an effort on goal from range but unable to keep it on target. He later tested Raya from distance. PA

• 

  Ilkay Gundogan – 5 Allowed Onyeka to be played free on goal in the first half for the Bees’ first chance. He should have done better when he linked with Haaland before firing over from five yards. Getty

• 

  Bernardo Silva – 6 Lively down on the right flank but lacked the final product. EPA

• 

  Erling Haaland – 5 The only player of City’s starting XI not to be heading to Qatar, Haaland was left frustrated with the lack of quality around him. Booked. EPA

• 

  Phil Foden – 7 The England forward netted City’s equaliser in superb fashion with a deadly shot on the half volley. Earlier, he forced Raya into a strong save when he tried his luck from a tight angle. He fired over in stoppage time. Getty

• 

  SUB: Julian Alvarez (Cancelo 87’) – N/A The Argentinian saw a header saved in the closing stages. Reuters

• 

  BRENTFORD RATINGS: David Raya – 8 Despite countless penalty calls by City, Raya was quieter than his counterpart in the first half. He could do little about Foden’s deadly strike, but was comfortable with what City threw at him. EPA

• 

  Mathias Jorgensen – 8 Strong at the back and made things difficult for City. He breathed a sigh of relief when, after having brought down Cancelo in the box, the referee didn’t award a penalty. Action Images

• 

  Ben Mee – 8 Won the ball in the air from Raya’s free-kick into the box to head into the path of Toney to put Brentford into the lead. Solid in defence. EPA

• 

  Ethan Pinnock – 8 Excellent in a back three for Brentford, Pinnock dominated the air and was kept on his toes making a stunning 15 clearances to keep City’s chances limited. PA

• 

  Mads Roerslev – 6 Struggled to deal with Cancelo and Foden when City turned up the heat in the second half. Excellent, however, to keep possession of the ball before Toney’s chance at the beginning of stoppage time. PA

• 

  Frank Onyeka – 8 The midfielder was played through on goal, his pace beating everyone, before Ederson put in a strong block. Energetic throughout. AFP

• 

  Vitaly Janelt – 6 Tried a few tackles but he saw little of the ball and was the quieter member of a packed midfield before he was taken off. Getty

• 

  Mathias Jensen – 6 Booked for denying De Bruyne a move on the break, taking one for the team. Overall, he played his part making it hard for Man City. AP

• 

  Rico Henry – 7 An absolutely storming run by the winger on the left flank caught City off guard, with Ederson unable to clear the cross before Mbeumo passed to Toney, who forced a terrific save from the City goalkeeper. EPA

• 

  Bryan Mbeumo – 6 Heading straight to the airport at full-time to join up with Colombia for the World Cup, Mbeumo was denied an excellent chance to help Brentford retake the lead when Henry fired in a low cross, which Laporte managed to clear. Getty

• 

  Ivan Toney – 9 After missing out on a call-up to the England squad, Toney looked motivated to prove Gareth Southgate wrong. He scored the opener when he converted Mee’s header, and continued to be a problem. He tapped in the winner for Brentford after a superb break from Wissa. Denied a hat-trick by De Bruyne. AFP

• 

  SUBS: Christian Norgaard (Janelt 62’) – 6 The Brentford sub got stuck into the action with a couple of tackles and clearances. AP

• 

  Yoane Wissa (Mbeumo 74’) – 7 What a break by Wissa to win the game for Brentford on 98 minutes. He won the ball before leaving City open, found Dasilva who passed to Toney to tap home. Getty

• 

  Josh Dasilva (Onyeka 87) 7 Despite his late arrival, made a statement to Thomas Frank. An outlet on the right wing, matching the pace of his teammates and winning his first assist of the season. Getty

Ivan Toney responded to his World Cup omission by scoring both goals as Brentford claimed a stunning 2-1 win at Premier League champions Manchester City.

The Bees forward, left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad for Qatar this week, netted a stoppage-time winner at the Etihad Stadium to condemn City to a shock loss in their final match before the break.

Toney, outstanding throughout, had put Brentford ahead on 16 minutes only for Phil Foden to level on the stroke of half-time.

Both sides had opportunities in the second half but Toney had the final say deep into the 10 minutes of time added on, ending City’s run of 11 straight home league wins.
