FULL TIME: MAN CITY 3-1 BRIGHTON
That's it. City are a point off the top, and Brighton can be pleased with their efforts. An unspectacular performance from Man City but one where you could tell they didn't think they needed one.
THERE ARE FOUR MORE MINUTES

But an energised City midfield crowd them out, and concede a foul.

ICE PACK FOR HAALAND
He limped a little towards the end of the first half so perhaps he needs a chance for some recovery with the game likely settled.

GOAL! MAN CITY 3-1 BRIGHTON - DE BRUYNE SCORES
A wonderful effort from De Bruyne. The Belgian has room about 25 yards out, so he curls an effort to the top corner with the minimum amount of fuss.
Goal
K. De Bruyne
Brighton & Hove Albion
TROSSARD EFFORT
He sprints past Akanji and to the byline, and his shot from a tight angle flies off Ederson's outstretched foot for a corner.
Manchester City
LAPORTE HEADER
From a corner on the right, Laporte meets the ball with a heavy touch, with his effort spinning just wide.
MAC ALLISTER TO LAMPTEY
He clips a ball over the top for the defender's run, and he heads it across goal that Ederson can reach, but threatened to tempt a forward.
At the other end Haaland can't run cleanly onto a through-ball and has to turn back onto his right, with his shot deflected over the bar for a corner.
MAC ALLISTER SHOT
From outside the box he lets fly, and his rising shot fizzes over.

A late tackle on Rodri looks painful but not too serious.

P. Groß
FODEN DOING HIS LACES UP
He's likely to be on soon. Perhaps for Mahrez, who has a shot blocked to win a corner on the right.
