Brighton 1-2 Manchester City
Glenn Murray's first goal at home in the Premier League since December very briefly had Brighton in dreamland, but they did have just 33% of the ball in that first half.
It would only take one goal from the Seagulls to put Liverpool back on top though.

Brighton 1-2 Manchester City
When Glenn Murray scored that header Manchester City needed two goals to move back on top of the Premier League. A big ask. Other sides may have crumbled.
That they did so so swiftly and with the bear minimum of fuss is to their eternal credit. Made it look easy. Routine.

Strange half - it took Brighton's goal to jolt Manchester City into life and to get Pep Guardiola to remove his nice grey cardigan.
Manchester City stand 45 minutes away from the title but this has not been a case of Brighton donning the flip-flops. They have made a game of it.

It’s such an intriguing game, with just two excellent moves - one from each side. Since Liverpool scored there is an argument that Wolves have looked the better side.

WHAT A MISS!published at 15:48 British Summer Time 12 May 2019
Leicester 0-0 Chelsea
One of the misses of the season from Gonzalo Higuain.
He is picked out in the six yard box by Marcos Alonso's cutback, only has to sidefoot in past Kasper Schmeichel but attempts a clever flick, gets his feet in a mess and shins it wide.
Hilarious.

An amazing half end with Matt Doherty hitting the bar.
I thought the players did really well to keep their concentration amid all the chaos about what was happening at Brighton.
GREAT SAVE!published at 15:47 British Summer Time 12 May 2019
Brighton 1-2 Manchester City
Here comes that free-kick - and it's a good one!
Lewis Dunk (LEWIS DUNK) lines it up, David Luiz style to side-foot it up and over the wall from about 25 yards, and Ederson has to push it over the bar!
