00:00 After back-to-back defeats, Manchester City played host to Brighton in search of a much-needed three points,
00:06 and the early signs were looking positive.
00:09 Bruno Lionel Daidoco, Manchester City go in front, and it's taken little more than six minutes.
00:16 Julian Alvarez with the perfect start for City,
00:19 and it was only a matter of time before he had some company on the score sheet.
00:24 Harland, oh magnificent, what a finish from Erling Harland. Didn't get a sniff of goal against Arsenal,
00:33 but Brighton have been punished again.
00:36 Jeremy Doku came within whiskers of a third first half goal for the home side.
00:41 Doku fires just wide, it's not for the ones who are trying.
00:46 The game tightened up in the second half, but the Seagulls were still left to feed off scraps.
00:51 Now Gros. And even when they were presented with a golden opportunity,
00:56 the City custodian was up to the challenge. Smart stop by Ortega.
01:02 The visitors did catch a break though, when a mistimed clearance fell to the feet of Ansu Fati.
01:08 Brighton have pulled a goal back. Ansu Fati off the bench to change the mood inside the Etihad Stadium,
01:16 and to give Brighton renewed hope.
01:19 A second yellow card to Manuel Akanji made it an interesting final few minutes.
01:24 However, the citizens held their nerve to grind out a 2-1 victory.
