Phil Foden then managed a first half brace to kill the game as a contest before the interval, with Julian Alvarez later adding a fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody even seemed to be that bothered that Erling Haaland wasn\u2019t playing.<\/p>\n<p>These are City\u2019s best and worst players from the game according to\u00a0<em>90min<\/em>\u2018s player ratings.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_meqd7jvy5\">Man City\u2019s best player vs Brighton<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/01hwbhqp9ht1hvk3pj66.jpg\" alt=\"Phil Foden\" title=\"Phil Foden\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Phil Foden had a brilliant night \/ Mike Hewitt\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phil Foden: 9\/10<\/h3>\n<p>At 23 years of age, Foden is now onto 51 Premier League goals after smashing through the half century milestone in this game. There was a big element of fortune in his first of the evening, thanks to a soft free-kick taking a big deflection. But his second was pure class, curling effortlessly in.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honourable mention<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kyle Walker: 8\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Talking of milestones, Walker has played nearly 400 times in the Premier League since his debut in the competition back in 2010. But this was the first time that the England right-back has registered two assists in the same top flight game. He set up De Bruyne\u2019s opener and the fourth for Alvarez.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"_b2a22jgyg\">Man City\u2019s worst player vs Brighton<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/01hwbhrsey55rpw3cnbh.jpg\" alt=\"Josko Gvardiol could have conceded a penalty\" title=\"Josko Gvardiol could have conceded a penalty\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Josko Gvardiol could have conceded a penalty \/ Mike Hewitt\/GettyImages<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Josko Gvardiol: 6\/10<\/h3>\n<p>On another night, Gvardiol might have given away a penalty for his challenge on Joao Pedro midway through the second half. City were already 4-0 up at that stage so it wouldn\u2019t have changed the course of the game or the result, but it was a little clumsy and avoidable.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dishonourable mention<\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rodri: 6\/10<\/h3>\n<p>Rather like Gvardiol, Rodri was the villain for Brighton players and fans when contact with Pascal Gross in the penalty area went unpunished. His passing accuracy was still close to 100% and he kept possession ticking over, but the few that did go astray left City vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City breezed past Brighton &amp; Hove Albion on Thursday night to cut Arsenal\u2019s lead at the top of the Premier League back to a single point.
