With a great performance, Manchester City proved that they have overcome the defeat against Real Madrid last week (they were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League with only 11 to be exact). Pep Guardiola’s team played excellent football as guests of Brighton, even though the head coach thoroughly changed the starting team, and he was also unable to play due to injury.
City already decided the match in the first half. Kevin de Bruyne took the lead with a pike header in the 17th minute, it is interesting that this was De Bruyne’s 68th goal in his 255th Premier League match, but only his first headed goal. It turned out spectacular. Then Phil Foden scored two goals, after 0-3 the second half was just formality, Álvarez set the final score in the 62nd minute.
Harry Redknapp: De Bruyne is the best of all time
After the meeting, the famous manager Harry Redknapp directly praised Kevin de Bruyne as the best midfielder of all time, but he could have praised the whole team. Manchester City is undefeated in 18 championships, and it won its fourth championship in a row by at least four goals, which only four teams in the Premier League have achieved so far: Manchester United in 2000, Manchester City in 2022 and Arsenal in March this year.
