Phil Foden shone with two goals and a brilliant display in Manchester City’s 4-0 victory at Brighton that keeps them on course for a fourth straight Premier League title
Almost ten years ago to the day, Steven Gerrard slipped, Liverpool lost control of their destiny in terms of the Premier League title race and
Guardiola’s issue has been that his players are close to empty on a physical level but there was zero evidence of that here. Is it just a mind game? Kevin De Bruyne had opened the scoring with a fabulous header while Julián Álvarez got No 4. The dream of a record fourth straight title edges ever closer.
It has long been a favourite past-time of Guardiola-watchers to attempt to classify his formation. Here at the outset, the battle had been on to distil De Zerbi’s blend because the licence he gave to Adam Lallana and Pascal Gross in central attacking midfield roles was extreme.Kevin De Bruyne dives in to launch a header into the back of the net to give Manchester City the lead at Brighton.Brighton were bright in the early exchanges, asking questions.
Brighton stuck to their principles, looking to play out from the back and it was their undoing when, as they lived on the end of their nerves during one sequence, their full debutant, Valentín Barco, cracked. Bernardo Silva set the trap. And when Barco tried to play a return pass to Carlos Baleba, Silva pounced. The ball was worked to Foden and he guided it into the far corner.
