Manchester City had an impressive victory on the south coast, securing their position for another Premier League title. Currently just one point behind the leaders Arsenal with a game in hand, they are on track to potentially achieve an unprecedented fourth consecutive English crown. Their recent 4-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion showcased their dominance, with key players like Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden shining.
The match started with Brighton's Danny Welbeck missing an early opportunity, but City soon took control. De Bruyne scored a superb diving header off a cross from Kyle Walker to give City the lead. Foden extended the lead with a deflected free-kick goal, before adding another goal with a precise finish. City continued to create chances in the second half, with Julián Álvarez and Walker combining for another goal.
Brighton faced further frustration as a potential penalty for João Pedro was denied, adding to their winless streak. City's victory, even though significant, still leaves them behind Arsenal in goal difference. However, if they maintain a perfect record in their remaining matches, they are poised to be crowned champions irrespective of the goal difference.
