Weakened Brighton, without a dozen first-team players, recently could not compete with Liverpool and Arsenal, now it was easy prey for Manchester City, so it did not significantly affect the championship race.
"Citizens" did not make a mistake in one of the more complicated away games until the end of the season in the Premier League, they won 4:0, so with one less match they have a minus point compared to the "gunners" in first place.
After last night's defeat to Everton, Liverpool took a big step back, as they have two or three points less than their rivals. And that with a game more than Pep Guardiola's team...
At Amex, City dominated the pitch from the start, and took the lead in the 17th minute when Kevin de Bruyne heads in Kyle Walker's cross.
Then it's in 26. i 34. Phil Foden shook the net, and it was clear in the opening part of the second half that Brighton could not get back into the game when Julijan Alvarez also enrolled.
City will play five matches until the end - visiting Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Tottenham await them, while they will meet Wolverhampton and West Ham at the Etihad.
The weekend could show a lot - Arsenal is visiting Tottenham, Liverpool is visiting West Ham, and City is waiting for a match with Forest.
