Manchester City asserted their dominance with a resounding 4-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion, maintaining their pursuit of a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title.
According to a report by Flashscore, the match showcased City's superiority from the outset, as they dictated proceedings with fluid attacking play.
The early stages saw Brighton's Danny Welbeck denied by City's defense, but it was Kevin De Bruyne who opened the floodgates with a stunning diving header, connecting with Kyle Walker's precise cross to give City the lead. Phil Foden extended the advantage, benefitting from a controversially awarded free-kick and slotting home a deflected strike past Brighton's goalkeeper Jason Steele.
Foden continued to shine, adding a second goal shortly after, capitalizing on a defensive error from Brighton to clinically find the bottom corner. Roberto De Zerbi's halftime substitutions injected some life into Brighton's performance, but City remained relentless in their pursuit of goals.
Julián Álvarez showcased his striking prowess with a powerful shot narrowly missing the target before eventually finding the back of the net, courtesy of Walker's assist. Despite Brighton's appeals for a penalty being waved away, City's dominance was undisputed as they secured a comprehensive victory.
The defeat extended Brighton's winless streak to five matches, dealing a blow to their aspirations of climbing into European contention. Despite the convincing margin of victory, City's inferior goal difference to leaders Arsenal means they must maintain a perfect record in their remaining matches to secure the title.
