Brentford boss Keith Andrews insists Erling Haaland was the difference in Sunday's defeat at home to Manchester City.

Haaland struck the only goal of the game on the day.

Andrews said afterwards: "They are an outstanding team that can control proceedings.

"But, if you look at the first half and how we played, we denied them a lot of space and a lot of the play was in front of us.

"Would we have liked to have gotten a little bit more pressure on the ball? Of course we would have. But it's not always on our terms.

"They created very few opportunities; I'm not sure how many centre-forwards in world football score the goal he scored.

"In the second half, we made a couple of little tweaks at the top end of the pitch to get us a bit more pressure on the ball, and I thought we were the better team in the second half."
