Brighton vs Man City highlights: Reaction as Guardiola sends title race warning to Arsenal

89’ Manchester City are just controlling this match to its inevitable finish now. They are controlling the ball, and have done everything they need to take a step forward in their battle to retain the Premier League title.

86’ Chance! The best chance of the night for Brighton! Joao Pedro was picked out in front of Ederson and he just put the ball wide of the target.

85’ After the ball rebounds off the referee and is given back to Brighton, they send it back to their goalkeeper and it feels like the game is just meandering to a finish.

There was a half chance for Brighton, when Ederson charged out of his box to make a clearance, but they were unable to take the shot at the open goal.

83’ Man City have another free kick, and those have been succesful for them, but a short one to try and pick out Grealish ends in a goal kick.

80’ Some of the home fans are just starting to trickle out of the stadium as the match goes into the final 10 minutes of normal time.

Other than two significant penalty shouts, Brighton have not come close to creating many clear-cut chances or finding a way through the City defence.

78’ A triple change for City, Walker, Silva and Rodri come off for Doku, Lewis and Gomez.

77’ City are just playing the ball around with ease here. Baleba has been shown a yellow card for a shirt tug right under the referee’s nose.

75’ There has not been a lot on offer for Welbeck, and he will come off for Mark O’Mahony, who will be involved at the Amex Stadium for the first time.

73’ Gvardiol has a shot after being played in by Grealish, but it’s straight at Steele who holds onto the ball at his near post.

71’ Brighton thought they had a good shout for a penalty when Joao Pedro was brought down by Gvardiol in the box without getting a touch on the ball.

Surprisingly, there was no lengthy VAR check, for the second time in the game, and Brighton have been denied a penalty, as the referee’s on-field decision was upheld.

City make two changes, Grealish and Nunes on for Foden and De Bruyne.
