Here are some of your comments:
Brentford fans
Theo: A complete performance against one of the best clubs in the world. Very consistent in both halves, defended really well, looked dangerous going forward and battled for every ball. So much effort and pressing from the boys, and we never gave up! Couldn't be prouder of my team.
Mitch: I thought we were excellent, but if we'd been a little braver in the first half and played Kevin Schade from the start against a holding midfielder, we'd have won. I never felt we were overly threatened, and if we'd converted our chances... but what a fantastic game! Players were outstanding.
Rhys: Incredible night. Amazing performance. It should have been 5-2! Wonderful to watch and great to see Rico Lewis back in the Premier League.
Cliff: Super proud of our Brentford team. One of the best games at the Gtech this season and it felt like a win. I can't help but think that City should have completely closed the game down, though - and in previous seasons they would have I'm sure. Anyhow, Liverpool on Saturday!
City fans
Pat: Difficult one to take. For most of the game we were solid and controlled the midfield. We scored two very good goals and created numerous chances when we should have put the game to bed. Then we allow two soft goals in the last 10 minutes and drop two more points. But, for me, the game hinged on the decision to bring on Ilkay Gundogan for Mateo Kovacic. It felt wrong, looked wrong and ultimately changed the game.
Josh: Much better performance all round but same defensive frailties visible. Nathan Ake can't do it all - Josko Gvardiol and Manuel Akanji are still liabilities defensively.
Colin: Frightening to see how low City are in confidence. The play on the edge of the opposition box shows that no-one will take a risk and either shoot or make a risky pass. All very safe and very boring - and won't lead to goals. A shadow of their former selves.
Martin: I thought they were looking more creative up front. Phil Foden must be crestfallen at the jelly-like defending and inability of the team to close out wins. Savinho good. Matheus Nunes and Akanji awful. Poor choices of substitutions. Mid-table team this year but little buds are appearing for development.

"I think this is the first time in four years that over the 90 minutes, we go toe-to-toe with a top-three club. I think Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have been the best three clubs in the four years we have been in the Premier League so the ability and the mindset to do that, the bravery throughout the game, extremely proud of that and of course coming back from 2-0 down is a fantastic mentality.
"Very happy. I would have been happy with the performance still but the feeling is a little bit better after you get something out of it."
On this being the seventh time Brentford have scored after 90 minutes: "We've got a very good group of players, we have created a great culture together. The staff, the players, everyone has very good characters so we just try to keep pushing that group and they do it for themselves."
On Yoane Wissa surpassing Ivan Toney to become Brentford's all-time top goalscorer in the Premier League: "I think that's extremely impressive, I'm very pleased on Wissa's behalf. He probably should have scored two if I'm a little bit after him but he has been very good for us and the way he has taken over from Ivan, not only him but Bryan [Mbeumo] as well, the partnership between the two of them is quite unique. We are just Brentford. Extremely proud."
On what is possible for Brentford this season: "I'm a very positive and optimistic guy, I go into every game believing that we can win with huge respect for any opponents. I know in some games we are probably not favourites, for example today, but we know if we hit our highest level we've got a chance in every game and that's a fantastic feeling to have and we try to transmit it to the boys. It is one game at a time but of course [we want to] go as far as possible."

It proved to be another thrilling night for Brentford fans at the Gtech Community Stadium and a proud one for striker Yoane Wissa.
Manchester City, the English champions in each of the past four seasons, held a two-goal lead with 82 minutes on the clock, only for the Bees to produce a superb fightback to snatch a 2-2 draw.
Captain Christian Norgaard's powerful header provided a dramatic finale, but Brentford's first goal secured a moment of club history.
Wissa had space to shoot home from six yards out as he grabbed his 37th goal for the club in the top flight and moved above Ivan Toney as the Bees top scorer in the Premier League.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank called the achievement "extremely impressive" for a player that cost only £8.5m when he joined the Bees from French club Lorient in August 2021.
"I'm very pleased on Wissa's behalf," added Frank. "He probably should have scored two if I'm a little bit after him.
"But he has been very good for us and the way he has taken over from Ivan, not only him but Bryan [Mbeumo] as well, the partnership between the two of them is quite unique. We are just Brentford. Extremely proud."
Image source, Getty ImagesYoane Wissa scored his 37th Premier League goal, overtaking Ivan Toney (36) to become Brentford's top Premier League scorer.
He has also been involved in 12 goals across his past 10 home league appearances for the Bees (10 goals, two assists).
Image source, Getty ImagesBrentford midfielder Christian Norgaard, speaking to TNT Sports: "Once [Yoane] Wissa scored the first goal, we thought we had a good grip on the game.
"I don't know how I ended up on the cross but it was nice to see it go in."
On his goal: "We speak a lot about attacking the gaps and even though I am not a striker, I listen anyway in the meetings and I attacked the gap.
"With a top, top performance, I think we get three points today but we'll take a point after being 2-0 down with 10 minutes to go."
On Liverpool being up next: "If we can keep this place rocking like we did tonight, I'm sure we can manage to get a good game against Liverpool."

Image source, Getty ImagesThe only ray of light to come out of Brentford's bitterly disappointing FA Cup defeat to Plymouth on Saturday was the return of Rico Henry.
The left-back had been sidelined since tearing his anterior cruciate ligament at Newcastle in September 2023 and, after coming close to a comeback a couple of times, finally made his first appearance in 16 months on Saturday.
The 27-year-old played the first hour of the match before being substituted and in that time produced a solid performance.
He withstood some hefty challenges from some Argyle players and slotted back into the side as if he had never been away.
I am sure the club will manage his comeback carefully, so it will be interesting to see how much of a part he plays in this week's back-to-back home games against Manchester City and Liverpool.
Henry's return would allow Keane Lewis-Potter to move into his more natural position on the left of a front three after admirably filling in at left-back this season.
His form earned a new contract running until 2031 and it is great to see players like KLP becoming part of the club's long-term future.
Aaron Hickey, who, like Henry, has been out injured since last autumn, also signed a new deal in the past few days, and said he appreciated the club standing by him during his absence from the side.
There was little else to celebrate on Saturday as, for the third season in a row, the Bees slipped out of the FA Cup at the first hurdle.
Given our mid-table Premier League position, it is frustrating for us not to have a cup run.

I was hoping Brentford would have a real go at the FA Cup this season, but they made a load of changes for their tie with Plymouth, and they ended up on the wrong end of the biggest shock of round three.
I can understand Bees' manager Thomas Frank's point of view, because he can argue his side have a busy schedule with some tough fixtures coming up - after this game, they host Liverpool on Saturday and I am there for Radio 5 Live.
He decided to give some fringe players an opportunity to get a game and impress him, against a struggling Championship team who had not won an away game all season, but it did not work out.
The Bees started the season with such a strong home record but Saturday's defeat means they have lost their past three matches there.
Manchester City, meanwhile, are starting to build some better form again, and their big win over Salford City at the weekend was their third in a row.
I was a bit surprised about the news Kyle Walker could be leaving City. He has not had the best of seasons, but he has probably been the best right-back the Premier League has seen.
Walker has been a huge part of what City have achieved under Pep Guardiola and I would be sad to see him leave the Premier League if he does go abroad.
In terms of this game, I feel like City are on a bit of a roll. I've already done something which I promised I wouldn't do in Fantasy Football, which is put Erling Haaland back in my team, and captained him.
It was a masterstroke from myself, and my assistant, because he scored twice in their last Premier League game against West Ham.
I am expecting Haaland to carry on his goalscoring form here, and I feel like City are going to edge it. I don't think it will be easy, though, and I cannot see them keeping a clean sheet.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
Image source, Getty ImagesBrentford boss Thomas Frank does not believe Manchester City's recent dip in form would have surprised "best coach in the world" Pep Guardiola.
Guardiola's side hit an unprecedented slump in November and December, including a run of six league defeats in eight matches, before chalking up three straight wins in all competitions since a home Boxing Day draw against Everton.
The defending champions are 12 points behind leaders Liverpool and two points adrift of the top four before Tuesday's trip to face the Bees in the league at Gtech Community Stadium.
"A fantastic team with a fantastic coach and fantastic players," Frank said. "I don't think it's a surprise for Pep that they've had a dip.
"You never know when it is coming, but you know that not one team in the world can consistently just win year after year.
"It's impossible, especially in the best league in the world.
"What they've done for the past four years shouldn't be possible. It's hugely impressive and he will go again."
Frank and Guardiola are the Premier League's two longest-serving managers, boasting six years and eight-and-a-half years respectively in their current roles.
"For me, he is the best coach in the world," Frank added. "He's also the outlier when he is that good because I think he can stay as long as he wants to.
"Of course, everyone needs to perform - even Pep and he says that himself - but he's that good that he can come up with solutions."
Having suffered a shock FA Cup exit in a 1-0 home defeat by Plymouth on Saturday, Brentford will bid to bounce back against a City side who thrashed Salford 8-0 in their third-round tie.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Premier League game at home against Manchester City (19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Frank confirmed Rico Henry will return to a Premier League squad for the first time in 16 months but is "unlikely to start" after featuring in the FA Cup loss to Plymouth.
He added he is "very, very pleased" that Henry is back available: "He's been one of our best players in the four years in the Premier League. It will take a little bit of time before we see him fully firing. That's not me saying he can't start or play a Premier League game, but consistent high performances will take a little bit of time to build."
Meanwhile, Ben Mee is "ready" after returning from a muscle injury. Christian Norgaard and Vitaly Janelt are also both available after missing Saturday's game.
Midfielder Norgaard has six months remaining on his current deal but the Bees have an option to extend by a further year: "Christian is happy here and we're happy with him. So let's see."
Reflecting on the FA Cup exit: "I tried to find that perfect balance between having a big week, with Plymouth first, then City, then Liverpool. I tried to balance the squad, tried to give a little bit of minutes, and maybe I didn't hit it perfectly. I was also a little bit limited with at least seven players I didn't want or could use. I think we had an average performance, not through the roof."
On Fabio Carvalho, who received some criticism for his performance against the Pilgrims: "Very few players step in and perform at a good level from day one – very, very, very few. He's a very good player and I'm convinced he will be good for us. He's training well and he's showing all the right attributes to become a good player for us. I told him not to be too harsh on himself."
Carvalho's path to the first team has been hindered by the strong form of Mikkel Damsgaard: "Damsgaard has done very well for us – it's not that I can't play both, because I can – but that's made it a bit hard for him."

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Saturday's FA Cup game between Brentford and Plymouth Argyle.
Here are some of your comments:
Nick: Dare I say it, but, I doubt that goal would have happened had it been a Premier League game. Our defence was fast asleep. Lesson to be learned - never underestimate opponents, no matter what league they are in.
Neil: Too much sideways and backwards tippy-tappy football. Not enough penetrating passes to turn Plymouth around. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with some more direct football.
Ray: Failed to name our strongest side assuming the opposition were not a threat, being near to the bottom of the Championship and having sacked their manager. Disrespectful. We paid the price.
Gavin: Plymouth totally deserved that. Although we dominated possession, we lacked the cutting edge that saw us rip through Southampton's defence. We didn't create enough chances and there didn't appear to be any leaders on the pitch.
Wellsers: Very slow start from the Bees, who enjoyed a lot of possession but couldn't make it count. Bringing on Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa and Keane Lewis-Potter didn't seem to up the tempo. To their credit, Plymouth kept plugging away and, unlike Brentford, took their chance. A very lacklustre performance.

The FA Cup third round continues on Saturday, with several Premier League sides in action:
Bournemouth v West Bromwich Albion
Chelsea v Morecambe
Norwich v Brighton
Nottingham Forest v Luton
Brentford v Plymouth Argyle - listen on BBC Radio 5 Live
Manchester City v Salford City (17:45) - watch on BBC One, iPlayer and the BBC Sport website & app
All times GMT and kick-off at 15:00 unless stated
BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton has made his predictions for all 32 FA Cup third round games and given his verdict on who will make it into round four.
For this week's matches he is up against actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton, who is a Liverpool fan.
Sutton's prediction: 5-0
Plymouth are another managerless club. They also have a terrible defensive record this season so you really fear for them here, off the back of Brentford's 5-0 win at Southampton last weekend.
The Bees are definitely going to bag a few more goals here too. Plymouth have not won away all season and have only scored three times on the road, and this is going to be a very difficult day for them all round.
Billy's prediction: 3-1
Image source, Getty ImagesThe FA Cup third round is well under way, with Premier League sides Everton, Fulham and Aston Villa the clubs already booking their places in the fourth-round draw with wins on Thursday and Friday.
But for other sides hoping for a healthy cup run this season, when will the draw take place?
The draw will be live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer following the conclusion of the Arsenal v Manchester United tie, which kicks off at 15:00 GMT on Sunday.
It will include 32 teams - with all third-round matches this weekend settled on the day - and the resulting ties will be played over the weekend commencing Saturday, 8 February.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank has been speaking to the media before Saturday's FA Cup third round tie at home against Championship side Plymouth Argyle (15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Frank confirmed Rico Henry will start on his return from a long-term knee injury sustained in September 2023 which is a "big boost for him, us and the fans": "He has been good in training - very aggressive as he always is. In general, he's looked good and ready to start. If he wasn't good enough, we wouldn't start him. Rico is the only player that was here when I came more than eight years ago, so it's a good journey and story we have together."
Frank also confirmed Fabio Carvalho will return after missing two games with a minor groin injury while Ben Mee is "getting closer" but Saturday's game will come too soon for the defender.
He added midfielder Ryan Trevitt has a "minor issue with his Achilles, but he's on the way back".
Brentford have no fresh injury concerns following the 5-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League last weekend.
On the Bees' plans in the January transfer window: "It depends on how many numbers we've got available, and then we will work around that."

Chelsea survive scare to beat Plymouth in extra time
Kevin Nancekivell says he wants Plymouth Argyle to create more FA Cup memories when his side faces Brentford on Saturday.
The Pilgrims can put their recent league difficulties to one side as they head to the Premier League club in the third round.
Nancekivell is in interim charge as the Championship's bottom side search for a new head coach to replace Wayne Rooney.
Brentford are the third top-flight side the Pilgrims have faced in the past decade, having taken Liverpool to a replay in 2017 and narrowly losing in extra time at then-European champions Chelsea in 2022.
Plymouth's best-ever finish in the competition was reaching the semi-finals in 1983-84 when they were beaten 1-0 by Graham Taylor's Watford at Villa Park.
"The FA Cup is special to everybody," Nancekivell told BBC Radio Devon.
"This football club, one of its biggest days was 1984 and the FA Cup semi final, so we want more days like that.
"We've had some good days at Arsenal, we've had some good days against Liverpool, Chelsea wasn't so long ago as well.
"So we want to build on that and we want to add Brentford to that list of achievements.
"We're under no illusions how difficult the task is going to be, but we've got no fear at the minute.
"We can go up there, we can take away the pressures of the league, enjoy ourselves and see what we can do."
