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.

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.
