City extended our unbeaten league streak to 18 straight matches with the scintillating Seagulls success.
First-half goals from Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden (two) handed the visitors a strong lead at the interval following a dominant display by Pep Guardiola‘s side.
Our brilliant Belgian broke the deadlock when he met Kyle Walker‘s pinpoint cross from the right to score his first-ever headed goal in the competition.
Buoyed by taking the lead, we soon doubled our advantage at the AMEX Stadium when the England international’s free-kick, somewhat fortuitously, deflected off Pascal Gross and found the back of the net.
Regardless, it was exactly what the visitors deserved for our outstanding performance on the south coast.

And two became three with 10 minutes remaining of the first 45 when Foden benefitted from sloppy Brighton defending to fizz an effort into the bottom corner.
Julian Alvarez added the gloss to the result with his 17th of the term in all competitions as our relentless pursuit of a fourth consecutive Premier League triumph continued.
