Pep Guardiola insisted Manchester City will \u2018do their job\u2019 for the remaining of the Premier League title race as they put pressure on Arsenal with a 3-0 win over Brentford.<\/p>\n
Having slipped up on Monday against Everton, Guardiola\u2019s side got back to winning ways with a hard-fought home win over Brentfrod on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Doku continued his tremendous form with an outstanding strike top open the scoring before Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush made sure of the result.<\/p>\n
City now sit just two points behind Arsenal within the Premier League table, although the Gunners can re-establish a five-point lead with victory over West Ham on Sunday.<\/p>\n
But Guardiola warned Arsenal that they need to expect no more slip-ups from his side in the ultimate weeks of the season as they appear to finish a famous domestic treble.<\/p>\n
\u2018Before Everton it was in our hands but now it isn’t, but what we have now to do is our job,\u2019 he told Sky Sports post-match.<\/p>\n
\u2018We didn\u2019t do it perfectly with Everton it was tough. But today we got here back and on Wednesday [we play] Crystal Palace, which is at all times difficult because they’ve extraordinary players and managers. But we are going to do our job and wait.\u2019<\/p>\n Asked if his side still have the spirit to delay the title race, he added: \u2018Everton was the actual proof, 3-1 down and emotions. The second half we give away. It happened last season persistently, now we\u2019re more solid but we still give away. <\/p>\n \u2018That\u2019s football, it happens, it\u2019s the way you react. I\u2019m really pleased for the way in which we have now done it.\u2019<\/p>\n Arsenal (76 points)<\/strong><\/p>\n West Ham (A) \u2013 May 10<\/p>\n Burnley (H) \u2013 May 18<\/p>\n Crystal Palace (A) \u2013 May 24<\/p>\n Man City (74 points)<\/strong><\/p>\n Crystal Palace (H) \u2013 May 13<\/p>\n Bournemouth (A) \u2013 May 19<\/p>\n Aston Villa (H) \u2013 May 24<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Guardiola was also keen to praise the performance of Doku, who scored one other superb goal to cap off an outstanding performance and proceed his red-hot form.<\/p>\n \u2018This season he made an incredible step forward, which players must do to attempt to recover and higher,\u2019 Guardiola said of the Belgian winger.<\/p>\n \u2018He scored a goal along with his right foot against Everton [to make it] 3-3, but before that the primary goal was his left.<\/p>\n \u2018Now I actually have the sensation that if he goes there they’ll attempt to block shots and never leave the space to do it and now he needs to be clever to shoot or make an additional pass, and one other player might be free.<\/p>\n \u2018Everyone knows it, it\u2019s not essential to let you know that he made an incredible step. He said, \u2018I\u2019m Jeremy Doku and I\u2019m going to win games\u2019. The best players at all times have this mentality.\u2019<\/p>\n City return to league motion on Wednesday once they host Crystal Palace <\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the newest news on ![\"Manchester](\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-2275336955.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=594\")
