FROM THE MATCHDAY LIVE STUDIO 📺

Steve Howey on the first half 👇
“They started brightly and it was an open game.
“Then City seemed to get a second wind and controlled things. They got the goal, Alvarez is slightly fortunate but as was said, Doku is the main man.
“What he does is brilliant. He can cause all kinds of chaos. He runs at you, then he stops, then he goes again and he leaves you dead in the water.
“There’s no chance of catching him. That’s what he did for the first goal. He’s been the star man.”
 
Paul Dickov on Erling Haaland getting on the scoresheet 👇

“It’s a great finish.

“Brighton are causing their own problems. When he gets that ball he only had one thing on his mind.

“He did the goalkeeper. He used Dunk as his marker, he gave him the eyes and whipped it in the near post.

“That’s not a striker struggling with confidence. You could see how happy he was.

“Expecting a few more from the big man in the second half.”
