Manchester City 3 Brentford 0: Decisive Doku, the Rodri effect and all eyes on West Ham

Key Points:

• Manchester City secured a crucial 3-0 victory over Brentford, with Jeremy Doku scoring a key goal to keep City's Premier League title hopes alive, leaving them two points behind Arsenal with three games remaining.
• Doku's recent surge in goal-scoring, adding three goals in quick succession after a slow start to the season, has been vital for City's attack, highlighting his importance in their title challenge.
• The absence of Rodri due to a groin injury has weakened City's midfield stability, forcing Guardiola to rely on less effective replacements and leaving the team less composed in crucial moments.
• City's title hopes may now hinge on Arsenal's upcoming match against relegation-threatened West Ham, with West Ham's desperation potentially offering City a chance to capitalize if Arsenal falters.
• With two trophies at stake in the next 15 days and key fixtures ahead, City's ability to maintain momentum and cope without Rodri will be critical for their season's outcome.
