With Arsenal keeping the pace in the title race after thumping city rivals, Chelsea, it was up to Man City to respond when they travelled to the Amex to take on Brighton.

17 minutes in and a bit of magic had put the citizens ahead with Kevin De Bruyne producing a magnificent diving header from Walker’s cross.

Shortly after, Foden made it two with a setpice aided by a deflection off the back of Pascal Groß as his superb run of form continued.

Relentless pressure to Brighton’s brave build up in their box, produced a third, as Bernado Silva intercepted a pass unto the path of Foden, who finished calmly for his 16th goal of the season.

A trademark long ball from Ederson in goal, found Skipper, Walker in the Brighton box who unselfishly set up Alvarez for an empty net finish and Mancity’s fourth of the game.

The win sees Pep Guardiola’s side climb back to second in the league, a point off Arsenal with 77 and a game in hand.
