Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City celebrated scoring his team’s first goal during the Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion at American Express Community Stadium on April 25, 2024 in Brighton, England. The visitors took the lead on 16 minutes when Kyle Walker assisted De Bruyne’s wonderful looping header into the top corner for the opening goal.
Brighton’s struggles continued as they made an error, leading to Foden taking advantage and doubling City’s lead ten minutes before halftime. In the second half, City extended their lead with Alvarez firing into an empty net on 62 minutes, securing a comfortable advantage.
With the game seemingly in control, City’s manager Pep Guardiola made changes, bringing on Jack Grealish and Mathues Nunes for the final 20 minutes. The team successfully maintained their lead and secured a clean sheet, moving within one point of the Gunners with a game in hand.
The next match for Guardiola’s team will be against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday evening.
