End of match

  • 96'
    FT: Man City 3-1 Brighton!! All over at the Etihad and after Haaland scored a first half brace, Brighton fought back in the second period. Trossard made it 2-1 in the 53rd minute and could've levelled had Ederson not made a top save from close range. KDB's 75th minute ended the contest, but Brighton put up a terrific show. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    KDB makes it 3-1!! That should be that! What a goal. City attack from midfield, B Silva runs forward and gives to KDB in the middle and the Belgian curls one into the corner from 25 yards. Sensational.
  • 75'
    Estupinan sees yellow for a foul.
  • 73'
    Almost 2-2!!! Trossard makes a fabulous run down the far side, he then gets into the box and Ederson makes himself big to make the save!

    Laporte!! The corner comes in and Laporte's header goes narrowly wide of the far post.
  • 71'
    Haaland goes forward and his effort is deflected behind for a corner.
  • 70'

    Trossard pulls one back for the away side! Good play by the Seagulls on the far side and the ball is given to Trossard by March and his powerful strike from the edge of the box beats Ederson! I think the goalie will be disappointed with himself.
  • 52'
    Mahrez!! Great save by Sanchez! KDB with the run forward towards the box, he lays off to Mahrez to his right and Sanchez denies the Algerian!
  • 50'
    KDB is penalised 35 yards from goal. What can Brighton do with this?
  • 49'
    Free-kick to the home side.
  • 47'
    Brighton attack, but are caught offside.
  • 46'
    March's cross into the box is caught by the GK.
  • 46'
    Man City get us going again!
  • 45'
    Brighton HT sub: Lamptey is on for Lallana.
  • 45'
    HT: Man City 2-0 Brighton!! Half-time at the Etihad and Haaland and Craig Pawson are in the headlines. The referee didn't give a clear pen at 0-0 when Sanchez fouled the Norwegian, Haaland scored anyway in the 22nd minute and then Pawson awarded a VAR penalty just before HT when B Silva looked to have left his leg in there. Haaland made no mistake from 12 yards. Controversy aside, Man C have been dominant. Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+3: Lots of debate about the B Silva decision. I actually thought B Silva left his leg there and Haaland's penalty should've been a spot kick, but there we are.
  • 45'
    Trossard runs into the box and his cross is caught by Ederson.
  • 45'
    Three added minutes.
  • 44'
    The question was whether B Silva put his foot into the defender or the other way around. City cruising.
Penalty scored
Goaaaaal from a penalty!

  • 43'
    Haaland steps up and scores!! He hits the ball to the GK's left and Sanchez is rooted to the spot! Already an uphill task for the Seagulls.
  • 41'
    There's a slight push from behind by Gross and then Dunk catches B Silva on the leg and Pawson gives it!! Brighton don't like it, but it's been given.
  • 40'
    Pawson is going to the screen here!! That's a very late review!
  • 39'
    B Silva is down in the area wanting a penalty, but Pawson turns it down again!!
  • 37'
    Brightoin attack and Gross wins a corner off the defender.
  • 35'
    Man City are looking for a second here.
  • 32'
    KDB!! He plays a one-two with Grealish before his shot is cleared away for a corner!
  • 30'
    Grealish is down the box appealing for a penalty after contact from Veltman, but Pawson turns it down again! Not for me.
  • 29'
    Brighton are having some possession in City's half, but well away from the goal.

  • 22'
    Haaland puts Man City ahead!! Ederson punts the ball up field, Sanchez comes out of his goal, but Haaland gets there first and he chest controls before outmuscling Webster and tapping into an empty net!
  • 20'
    I have to say that looked a penalty. Pawson (and VAR this time) in the spotlight.
  • 19'
    Haaland goes down in the box wanting a pen, but Pawson says no!! Cancelo plays a lovely pass for KDB in the pass, he squares for Haaland who looks to be fouled, but Pawson says no! I think Haaland is clearly caught on the ankle, but the VAR says play on!
  • 18'
    The cross into the box is cleared away by Dunk.
  • 14'
    B Silva gets another corner for the hosts.
  • 13'

    Play is halted as Welbeck picks up a knock, but he's back now.

    Trossard's ball into the box is headed away by R Dias.

    How will KDB do this afternoon?

    The last meeting between these teams was back in April and Guardiola's side won it 3-0.
  • PRVW
    They make three alterations from the last match as Ake, Foden and Gundogan drop out and Laporte, Grealish and Mahrez take their places.
  • PRVW
    As for Man City, their match at Arsenal in midweek was postponed due to the Gunners' rearranged Europa League fixture with PSV so they haven't played since the 1-0 loss at Liverpool last Sunday.
  • PRVW
    The Seagulls are unchanged for this one from the goalless draw with Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
  • PRVW
    Craig Pawson is the referee while Lee Mason is the VAR. Let's hope Pawson has a better performance than the one on Tuesday when he took charge of Blackburn's match with Sunderland.
