Man City Tops Premier League

Manchester City reclaimed top spot in the Premier League with a 3-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at the Etihad Stadium, thanks to a dominant second-half display.

The home side struggled for a breakthrough in a frustrating first half, before taking the lead in the 53rd minute through Riyad Mahrez.

In his 300th match for the club, Kevin De Bruyne made a surging run from the halfway line before his pass was deflected to Mahrez, whose shot also took a deflection into the net.

Phil Foden doubled the lead with a 20-yard shot, again thanks to a deflection, before Bernardo Silva made sure of the points with a curling finish after good work by substitute Oleksandr Zinchenko.

City have 77 points, one clear of Liverpool. Brighton are 10th on 40 points, ahead of Newcastle United on goal difference.
