Manchester City looked like their old selves as they recorded the biggest Premier League win of the season by thrashing struggling Ipswich at Portman Road to move back into the top four.

After letting slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Brentford in their last Premier League outing, Pep Guardiola's side returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion.

Phil Foden was particularly excellent as he scored twice and assisted another of the six goals, with his double coming in the first half.

The England forward got his first goal of the game when he deftly controlled Kevin de Bruyne's 28th-minute cross inside the box before sweeping the ball in.

City added another just three minutes later through Mateo Kovacic's crisp strike from the edge of the box, with Foden providing the assist, before he grabbed a third two minutes before the break.

De Bruyne was again the provider as he picked out Foden inside the box and his low shot squirmed under Christian Walton and into the net.

Manchester City endured a dreadful run of form towards the end of last year and their players looked determined to remind doubters of their ability with a high-scoring win.

Jeremy Doku got their fourth goal shortly after the break, darting into the box before his low drive was deflected into the net, and Erling Haaland - fresh from signing a new nine-and-a-half-year deal at the club - made it 5-0 just before the hour mark, driving in from Doku's pass after an Ipswich mistake at the back.

Substitute James McAtee rounded off the resounding victory with a delightful looping header from Kovacic's cross.

The victory means Manchester City are fourth on 38 points, while Ipswich remain in the bottom three with 16 points.

Nottingham Forest moved level on points with second-placed Arsenal after withstanding an unlikely comeback by bottom club Southampton at the City Ground.

The hosts looked in total control with a 3-0 lead inside 41 minutes, only for a fortuitous Jan Bednarek goal and Paul Onuachu's thumping header - in the first of 12 added minutes - setting up a tense and thrilling finale.

Saints, who had battled back brilliantly in the second half, then almost snatched an equaliser but Ola Aina spectacularly cleared Bednarek's header off the line.

Such drama looked unlikely for much of the match after Forest took 11th-minute lead when Elliot Anderson drove from midfield and shot low into the bottom left corner for his first goal for the club.

Callum Hudson-Odoi buried the second from the edge of the box in the 28th minute after another defensive mistake by Southampton and Chris Wood headed in his 14th goal of the season to add a third before half-time.

Unbeaten now in eight league games with seven wins and a draw, Forest remain third on goal difference, but are seven points clear of sixth-placed Bournemouth in a further boost to their hopes of qualifying for Europe next season.

Both they and Arsenal are six points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

Southampton have lost 18 games this season, including all five league matches since Ivan Juric was appointed in December, and stay bottom of the table with six points.

Brighton capitalised on a disastrous mistake from Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana to condemn their hosts to a fourth defeat in five Premier League home games and leave Ruben Amorim's side rooted in the bottom half of the table.

The visitors were already leading thanks to goals from Yankuba Minteh and Kauro Mitoma when Onana came sliding out to collect a low Yasin Ayari cross.

It seemed an easy enough take but somehow Onana managed to grab the ball, then release it. Substitute Georginio Rutter could not believe his luck as he turned the ball into an empty net, with Onana left exasperated at his inexplicable failure.

It was hardly the way United's players would have wanted to mark the death of legendary striker Denis Law, but they deserved nothing more.

With world darts champion and lifelong United fan Luke Littler watching on, Brighton struck after just five minutes as Mitoma scorched away before presenting Minteh with the inviting finish.

Then, after Bruno Fernandes had pulled United level with a 23rd-minute penalty, Minteh turned provider on the hour as he chipped a cross to the far post and Mitoma won a duel with Noussair Mazraoui to turn the ball into the net from less than a yard.

By that point, Brighton had already had a Joao Pedro effort ruled out by VAR because of a foul in the build-up on Diogo Dalot.

It was the Seagulls' sixth win in seven meetings with United, while Manchester City are the only club to have emulated their achievement of winning three games on the trot at Old Trafford in the Premier League era.

While the result keeps Fabian Hurzeler's team in touch with the contenders for European qualification, United's three-game unbeaten run is at an end. They have now lost four of their last six league matches and are seven points adrift of 10th-placed Fulham and 10 ahead of the relegation places.

Everton started the road to recovery under returning manager David Moyes and piled more pressure on his struggling Tottenham counterpart Ange Postecoglou with an impressive victory at Goodison Park.

Spurs were shambolic for long periods as they were overrun by a resurgent Everton, who had won only three Premier League matches this season - scoring 15 goals - before this game.

Everton deservedly led 3-0 at the interval, then survived a late Spurs revival as the scoreline was given an appearance that did not reflect the difference between the sides.

With the stakes high for both teams, Everton brushed Spurs aside in the opening period, building the platform for a win that condemned Postecoglou's men to a seventh defeat in their past 10 league games.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin ended a barren Premier League scoring sequence stretching back to September - and lasting 1,288 minutes - when he turned Archie Gray twice in the area before leaving Spurs keeper Antonin Kinsky wrong-footed with a smart finish.

Son Heung-min was denied twice by Jordan Pickford but it was Everton, unrecognisable from the goal-shy team seen previously this season, who added a second on the half-hour when Iliman Ndiaye twisted Radu Dragusin inside out before firing high past Kinsky.

Everton compounded Spurs' misery in first-half stoppage time when Gray turned into his own net after James Tarkowski's header took a touch off Calvert-Lewin.

Spurs, as they had to do, improved after the break and pulled a goal back through Dejan Kulusevski's clever lofted finish with 13 minutes left, with former Everton striker Richarlison increasing the nerves by bundling home in injury time.

But the hosts held out for a deserved win on a day to savour for the returning Moyes.

Right, not long left now. Time for the reports.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Painful game for us. Beaten by a world-class side and they were too good for us. Positives the early parts of the game, but after the first goal they hit top form and top confidence - we weren’t able to find a response.

"They were outstanding and when that’s the case the gulf between us was too much on the day. Once they got the first goal they played really well, our confidence did drop and they caused us a lot of promise individually.

"The players showed some good character in the last 25 minutes. In a difficult moment in the last 20 minutes they regrouped well. We had to take our medicine and work hard to stop Man City."

On the Ipswich fans: “The supporters were fantastic as well. They were outstanding, and we are so grateful for the reception at the end - they know how hard we are working.

“The payers are working hard and they know we have climbed a mountain really quickly. There is going to be some difficult days are we don’t use that as an excuse.

"We are grateful for the way they stuck with us. On Monday we get the group in, and we need to analyse the things we need to do better and then it is on to Liverpool.

"Liverpool away is as good as what's out there.”

Man City and Liverpool still have to play, so that could go in the favour of Man City. They would need to win that. But they would still need Liverpool to lose quite a few games between now and the end of the season which I find difficult to see happening.

Manchester City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Long time it didn’t happen. We have got some good results lately.

“The players realised where we were, our standards lacked because it's not just winning titles, it is the joy to do your best. It doesn't matter if you’re a big actor in London or a little theatre in Sheffield - it doesn't matter.

"I think the players today proved many things and hopefully it can be the beginning of recognising ourselves of who we were.”

On Phil Foden: "One of the reasons he struggles, is Phil and many players were not there. Look at Kevin de Bruyne in the last three games, Kevin in his prime. We don't have that rhythm and step-by-step players come back.

"To get the best for the team they have to push each other and compete with each other. That couldn't happen this season as we have 13-14 players - no more than that."

On James McAtee: "He is such a good footballer and a lovely guy. Quite similar qualities as Phil [Foden].

“It is not easy when you don’t get many minutes for your confidence. Hopefully we can keep James for many years."

Manchester City

Manchester City goalscorer Phil Foden speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I'm really delighted with the outcome of the game. I thought we controlled it really well and looked back to ourselves. Hopefully, we can continue like this and not drop off.

"We could have done that with the chances we had at Brentford. It's good for players like me and Doku to score as well for the confidence. Everyone is buzzing in the changing room now, they look really happy.

On being four shy of 100 City goals: "I'm going to be shooting all the time now. It'd be a great achievement for me to score that many goals for the team I've always loved.

"I still think there are a lot of steps to go. To come in and win the way we did shows great character and we want to build on this."

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna speaking to Sky Sports: "Really difficult game. Our opponents were much better than us. I thought there were lots of positives in the early parts of the game. We could have had the first goal. We were a little bit open on the transitions with Haaland. Their quality took it away from us and we were punished by a top opponent.

"I don't think it's familiarity with the Premier League. We faced one of the best teams in the world and we have to keep striving to improve.

"We know the jump and climb we've made. We're going to have some difficult days this year. We don't accept it, we'll look at where we can do better, all of us. There were bits that were good and some that weren't. It's Liverpool away next week and we'll have to show a lot of humility and keep pushing for more.

"You never know because we've had wins against Chelsea and Tottenham so you never know when your wins are going to come. We need to compete for every game. We need to compete at our best every game and we didn't manage that today.

"My thought is working with the group of players that are here. Bringing them in in January and expecting them to have an effect is really tough. if we do things in the right way then we'll come out of it stronger. We need to focus on everyone in the building.

"We believe that we can compete right to the end of the season. We have 10 results so far, we haven't won as many as we'd like. I trust in the group to keep working and find the right response to this game and find a better performance next week."

I just don't think Liverpool are going to lose enough games for City to have a chance but to finish in the top two, I think Man City are more than capable of doing that.

They've got the strength, they've got the ability, the know how and I think they can definitely finish in the top two. They're a top class side, there's no doubt about it and they're trying to find their way back to that form. Today was a good step in that direction.

Man City and Liverpool still have to play, so that could go in the favour of Man City. They would need to win that. But they would still need Liverpool to lose quite a few games between now and the end of the season which I find difficult to see happening.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest goalscorer Elliot Anderson speaking to Sky Sports: "It's a huge three points for us. They made it really difficult but we went to the end and took the three points."

On his goal: "It's been a long time coming. My first in the Premier League as well. I think a lot of the lads have been telling me to shoot more so I did and it hit the back of the net. Buzzing.

"I think they were very good and we shouldn't have conceded that first goal, it's happened but we did well to hang on.

"The gaffer said we played Liverpool midweek and Southampton today so we had to attack both games the same. Everyone will be happy with that."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Very delighted, we wanted to come here and put pressure on them early.

"We have our principles and we try play the same against every opponent - it paid off. It was important to get the second win of this week.

"It is easy to play with good players and I always try to express myself."

Southampton

Southampton defender Jan Bednarek speaking to Sky Sports: "Completely opposite halves. First one was really bad and the second was really good. We were really close to getting something from a tough place to play. We need to learn really quickly that United in the last 15 minutes and the first 45 here was not acceptable.

"We missed intensity. The way we played was too slow. We have to learn and hopefully, we get more intense."

Did he mean his goal: "No, I just wanted to touch the ball because I felt like it was going off target. I just wanted to touch the ball. We had chances to get something today but it wasn't enough.

"As you can see, we are a good side but we miss consistency. We have to do it for 90 minutes and focus on those moments where we have to stick together."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham defender Ben Davies talking to Premier League Productions: "It was tough. When you're three goals down at half-time you are climbing an uphill battle. We had a fight but clearly not good enough first half.

"The fans have every right to be disappointed. We were far too open and the goals they scored weren't too difficult. They were a bit soft and we needed to be better."

On the injuries: "That is football sometimes. We can blame it but it just an excuse. We know we need to do better as a team."

On their current situation: "It is probably the toughest period since I've been at the club. We'll see the players who are willing to fight and show they really care about this. It is a tough time for the club and squad. We need people who will really fight. I see the work we put in every day. Everyone is hurting. It is a very difficult period and we're hurting too like the fans."

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest midfielder Ola Aina, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "We are buzzing. Just happy to get the win today.

"We are working hard every week. It is showing on the pitch and to be up there with some of the big boys is a credit to us. We will keep going and take every week as it comes.

"Everyone is doing their part to reach our goals. Happy to get an assist for Chris Wood - he keeps scoring that guy.

"It is taking it step-by-step. Being humble and working hard for each other and making sure that we are doing the right things to win football matches."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton captain Lewis Dunk, speaking to BBC MOTD: "We started well and then lost a bit of shape and structure, allowed them to get the goal back but we reacted well and raised the intensity.

"We stepped off a bit too much in the first half but we picked up again in the second.

"It has been a frustrating period but it's nice to feel that winning feeling again. We want to be on a good run and back in a good position.

"We've had three massive games this week and three big wins."

On the change in mentality to win three in a row at Old Trafford: "We're a different team than when we first came up. We used to just try and stay in the league and now we are competing. We have picked up some good results here but now we move on to the next one."

Manchester United have appointed Ruben Amorim knowing the 3-4-3 system so they have to go through this tough time, this pain, because they can't get rid of him. They knew the system they would've looked at identifying the players. He need players for the system. What's going to give first? The owners aren't going to leave are they.

Surely you would change to try and get results and go against everything you believe in.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler, speaking to BBC Match Of The Day: "I'm very happy and proud for the team because they showed commitment this week. They got what they deserved today, they did the details right and the small details to get the result.

"After we scored the opening goal we were a bit passive, we had good structure and were a danger but we changed things for the second half to have more structure in possession.

"To have balance between defensive stability and structure with the ball is very important. The team was mature today.

"It's a very big club with big tradition and Manchester United was a club I followed through my career but it's important to stay humble and grounded because I also had bad times in my career. Getting consistency in results only comes by working hard."
