Ninth-placed Brentford in the 2022/23 Premier League are Manchester City's bogey team. Thomas Frank's side were the only side to beat Pep Guardiola's side in both league games: 1-2 at the Etihad Stadium and 1-0 on the final day of the season.
Brentford have enjoyed a campaign to remember. In the 2nd consecutive season since promotion to the top flight in 2021, the Bees - 9th - have not only improved on their record of 13th in 2022-23, but have also become Manchester City's nightmare.
Thomas Frank's side were the only side capable of beating the Premier League champions in both matches. The first leg at the Etihad Stadium ended 1-2 and the last dance of the season was secured by a narrow 1-0 win.
Ivan Toney, who gambled as many as 13 times against Brentford, scored the brace that stunned Pep Guardiola on 12th November. Phil Foden levelled the score at 0-1 before the break, but the '17' silenced enemy territory in the 98th minute.
Back in London, Ethan Pinnock scored the only goal of the game to leave the capital side on 59 points, just two points behind Aston Villa's Conference League place next season.
