Manchester City return brilliant to Premier League summit!
Premier League – Manchester City broke through thanks to deflected efforts from Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden.
Manchester City scored three times in the second half on Wednesday to recover top spot in the Premier League with a 3-0 victory over Brighton.
The scoreline did not tell the whole tale of a tense match at the Etihad Stadium,
in which champions Manchester City were frustrated by Graham Potter’s tenacious team before the break.
They broke through thanks to deflected efforts from Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden, and the joy that filled the stadium after an edgy first half was palpable.
With a magnificent third goal for the hosts eight minutes from time, Bernardo Silva calmed any concerns.
In a tense title battle, Liverpool’s thrashing of Manchester United on Tuesday had placed the pressure back on City.
Following Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final loss to Liverpool,
Pep Guardiola made six changes, with Kevin De Bruyne and Ederson among those who returned.
