Phil Foden, who was the hat-trick hero when the sides met at the Gtech Community Stadium last season, struck twice in the second half to put Pep Guardiola's side on cours♛e for a fourth straight win in all competitions.
The England midfielder broke the deadlock when he volleyed in Kevin De Br♈uyne's cross shortly after Mikkel Damsgaard was denied by the offside flag, before doubling🌟 the lead from close range in the 78th minute.
However, the hosts refused to lie down and Yoane Wissa, who was denied by Nathan Ake on the line earlier on, pulled a goal back in the 82nd minute to set up🥃 a grandstand finish.
Then, in the second minute of stoppage time, Christian Norga🗹ard headed in Keane Lewis-Potter's cross to snatch a share of the spoils for Thomas Frank's🍨 side.
Things nearly got even better for the Bees in the dying moꩲments with Ake f🌼orced to head clear Bryan Mbeumo's effort.
City sit sixth in the table, having failed to capitalis๊e on Newcastle United not playing until Wednesday. Meanwhile, Brentford moved up to 10th following their dramatic fightback that saw them avert a fourth successive home defeat across all competitions.
Data Debrief: Landmark Wissa goal sparks Bees' fightback
City have now dropped 14 point𒈔s from🥀 winning positions in the Premier League this season, which is their highest total in a league campaign under Guardiola.
Foden had put the Citizens in a commanding position ওafter taking his goal tally against Brentford to seven, only netting more against Brighton in the P🌸remier League (eight).
However, Wissa's landmark goal sparked the Bees' revival. The forward became th🐭e club's all-time leading Premier League scorer with his 37th strike moving him past Ivan Toney (36).
Norgaard then equalised with Br🗹entford's seventh goal from the 90t൲h minute onwards in the English top flight this term, more than any other side.
