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.

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.

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.
