Man City 2-0 Brighton
It's all over. City are top of the table, for a couple of hours at least...
Man City 2-0 Brighton
Four minutes of injury time to be played, but City already have the points in the bag.

Martin Montoya hauls down Raheem Sterling as he charges towards the area, and that is another booking for Lee Mason to dish out.
Before the free-kick can be taken, David Silva is replaced by Phil Foden, fresh from scoring his first senior goal for the club against Oxford in midweek.
Bernardo Silva's free-kick is put behind for a corner, which is subsequently cleared, but City remain in complete control.

Another Brighton change. Solly March is off. Jose Izquierdo is on, for his first appearance of the season

Aymeric Laporte is fine to continue, although the City fans are calling for their captain, Vincent Kompany.
The game resumes, although it is more like a training drill for City now - keep-ball in Seagulls territory.

A change for Brighton. Anthony Knockaert is off, Alireza Jahanbakhsh is on.
There is a bit of a delay to the action as City defender Aymeric Laporte gets treatment after falling awkwardly under an aerial challenge by Glenn Murray.

City are in complete control as we approach the final 10 minutes. They are passing the ball around at will inside Brighton's half, occasionally looking to have a shot. This time Riyad Mahrez tests Mat Ryan from the edge of the area, bringing a decent low stop from the Seagulls keeper.

Man City 2-0 Brighton
It's not been a rewarding afternoon for Jurgen Locadia, who has worked his socks off up front for Brighton while touching the ball only 20 times and managing just one (blocked) shot at goal. On comes Glenn Murray to try his luck instead.
Man City 2-0 Brighton
It's hard to see a way back into this game for Brighton, and difficult to know what they can try next. Do they stick - continue to sit back and protect their goal difference, or twist - push men forward and risk further damage?
City are making another change, replacing Leroy Sane with Riyad Mahrez, who has scored three goals in his past two games for City.
Man City 2-0 Brighton
That is some way for Sergio Aguero to sign off for the afternoon. He finishes his celebration and is replaced by Gabriel Jesus.
Man City 2-0 Brighton (Sergio Aguero)
What a goal this is. Started and finished by Sergio Aguero, who was about to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus.
Aguero picks up the ball about 40 yards from goal and drives towards the area, with Kyle Walker's decoy run down the right distracting the Brighton defence. Aguero goes past about three men before feeding Raheem Sterling, then continues his run to get on the end of Sterling's cross, and finds the bottom corner.
Man City 1-0 Brighton
City are completely on top but while the score remains 1-0, Brighton are not out of this. It has been a long time since the Seagulls threatened, however.
Man City 1-0 Brighton
City have had 20 shots in total now. Brighton have had four.
Man City 1-0 Brighton
City have all the possession, and now they are peppering the Brighton goal. Leroy Sane goes close from a Bernardo Silva cross, heading the ball downwards but seeing it bounce over the bar.
Then Sergio Aguero sees his shot blocked, before David Silva forces a great save from Mat Ryan with his follow-up.
Man City 1-0 Brighton
Perhaps this is predictable, but again it shows the way this game has gone...
The average position of the touches by nine of City's players is in the Brighton half (or as good as anyway). None of the Seagulls players have an average position beyond the halfway line.
Man City 1-0 Brighton
Brighton are still defending in numbers, and City are still playing pretty passing patterns, trying to find a way through.
If they are going to get back on level terms, the Seagulls have got to make the most of the ball on the rare occasions they find themselves in the City half... and they fail here, with Davy Propper firing an attempted through-ball straight out of play.
Man City 1-0 Brighton
So far Brighton's only shot on target is that early Shane Duffy header, that was barely looping goalwards before Ederson collected it.
A reminder that the Seagulls have not won any of their past 16 away Premier League games, and have not scored in 11 of them.
Meanwhile, City have started the second half the way they finished the first... on the attack. Kyle Walker has just fizzed a shot wide from long range.

Sergio Aguero gets the second half started for City.
