Winning streak...

City’s 2-1 win over Brighton saw Pep Guardiola’s side set yet another Premier League record.

Goals from Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland made it 21 consecutive home victories across all competitions – more than any other English team in the Premier League era has managed.

It also extends our current club record which was set on this run with the August defeat of Newcastle United.

The run is now the joint second longest in English football history, tied with Preston North End’s 1892 team. Sunderland’s 24 successive home victories across 1891 and 1892 remains the outright record.

Full-Time

That was a welcome three points against a very determined and dangerous Brighton side.

We win the Etihad contest 2-1 on the resumption of Premier League action after the international break.

Goals from Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland put us two-up at the break before Ansu Fati pulled one back in the second half to set up a tense finale to the contest.

Manuel Akanji was red carded in stoppage time to make it even nervier.

But Pep Guardiola’s men held on to earn a maximum haul and send supporters home happy.
