Manchester City talking points from their 4-0 Premier League win over Brighton as Pep Guardiola's side roared back in the title race
The damage was done in the first half as Phil Foden scored with a swooping header before Julian Alvarez saw a free-kick deflect in and ruthlessly punished some helpless Brighton defending in their own box. Pep Guardiola could afford to be all smiles as he watched his team pull apart their opponents and send a message to Arsenal and the rest of the Premier League, with Guardiola's ruthless call after Foden goal kills Klopp's dream for good netting a fourth late on.
Walker goes off script Guardiola has been very clear that City can't afford to get ahead of themselves. He allowed himself a little smile in his press conference on Wednesday when asked if he could see the end in sight, but the message has consistently been one game at a time; that was repeated minutes before kick-off when he said on Sky that getting ahead of themselves would be costly.
City ruin the title race narrative There have been some inevitable quirks in the swings involved in the title race. A few weeks ago Liverpool slipped up against perennial thorn in their side Crystal Palace hours before Unai Emery led Aston Villa to victory at his former club Arsenal. Foden joins Messi club Two goals for Foden took him to 24 for the season in all competitions, 16 in the league, and 50 in the league for his career. Gareth Southgate was watching on inside the stadium and surely can't leave him out of the England team for the Euros.
