Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has admitted his side was lucky as they came from behind to beat Brentford 2-1 on Saturday.
Yoane Wissa opened the scoring at the Etihad under 25 seconds.
However, Erling Haaland responded with a brace in the first half and it proved enough to earn the Premier League champions all three points.
Guardiola, speaking after the game, said his players struggled to play well.
He said:
"We were lucky with the deflection because they deserved 1-0.
"We struggled a lot to read when to shoot and press. We were lucky to find the goals but in the second half we were better and probably deserved to score more goals.
"We needed that to feel how difficult everything is, how difficult the Premier League is every game."
