The Brentford players celebrate after the late equalizer against Manchester City.

Christian Nørgaard‘s half-time header gave Brentford an exciting 2-2 Premier League draw against Manchester City from which the hosts canceled out two second-half goals Phil Foden to grab a share of the spoils on Tuesday.

After struggling to create chances in the first half, the breakthrough finally came for City in the 66th minute when a brilliant ball from the right Kevin De Bruyne was met with a deft volley from Foden, who steered it in at the far post.

Foden made it 2-0 12 minutes later and rattled home the rebound after Savinho‘s initial shot was saved, but Brentford’s Yoane Wissa ensured a nervy finish when he fired home from close range to reduce in the 82nd minute.

Denmark international Norgaard completed the comeback two minutes into added time and got enough power on his gaze for the header to send it wide Stefan Ortegadespite the City keeper getting a strong hand for it.
