That win means that City have closed the gap at the top of the table to just one point, though Arsenal don't play until tomorrow. Their attention now turns to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League. De Zerbi's wait for his first win at Brighton goes on, and they're now winless in five. They host Graham Potter's Chelsea next weekend.

City get back to winning ways as they brush aside Brighton with a 3-1 win. Haaland was the star of the first half, scoring with the only two shots on target. Ederson set him up for his first, rounding Sanchez outside the box before slotting into the empty net before dispatching the penalty that was awarded by VAR after Dunk tripped Silva. Trossard pulled one back just after half-time, rifling it in at the near post, but De Bruyne sealed the points with a wonderful effort from the edge of the D.

Sarmiento gets the better of Laporte and surges forward down the right before squaring it into the middle. It's behind Gilmour, but Caicedo picks it up only to foul Rodri before he can have a shot.

Laporte goes for the more direct approach this time, going long over the top looking for De Bruyne. He's away through the middle, but it's just too close to Sanchez, who comes to the edge of his area to collect it.

City are starting to give away a few needless fouls as Brighton continue to push forward in search of another goal. The free-kick is swept out to Estupinan on the left, but he can't get past Palmer.

Despite taking a 2-0 lead into half-time, Guardiola still didn't look overly happy with his side on the whistle. They've barely created anything of note, and he'll be looking for more dominance after the break. De Zerbi's side have struggled defensively, causing themselves a lot of their own problems. They need that to change if they want to get back into this game.

City are in control at the break, with a 2-0 lead over Brighton. There haven't been a lot of chances in the first half for either team, but Haaland has been clinical when it mattered, scoring with the only two shots on target. Ederson played it long and Haaland rounded Sanchez outside the box before coolly slotting into the empty net. VAR awarded a penalty just before the break after Silva was tripped by Dunk and the Norwegian fired it past Sanchez into the bottom corner.

For the third time in this game, City are asking for a penalty that isn't given. Silva's waiting for it to drop and he gets a slight nudge in the back before tripping over Dunk's outstretched leg. The defender was trying to play the ball, and the referee waves play on.

NO PENALTY! City are asking for a penalty after Haaland takes a tumble over Sanchez in the box. De Bruyne squared it in, and the keeper stuck out a leg to try and block the ball but caught Haaland on the ankle instead. After a check, VAR sticks with the onfield decision.

City have won each of their last nine Premier League home games, scoring at least three goals each time. There have only ever been two longer such runs in English top-flight history, both by Aston Villa (12 between March-December 1897 and 13 between December 1930 and September 1931).

CHANCE! Again, Ederson leisurely comes out of his box with the ball before looking for Cancelo, and this time, it's cut out by Welbeck. He takes the shot early while the keeper is still well off his line, but he slips and fires it high into the stands.

When Trossard swung that last cross in, Dias backed into Welbeck and accidentally caught the forward in the eye with his elbow. He's back on his feet after treatment and will be able to carry on.
