Man City 1-0 Brighton RECAP: Hosts miss late penalty but hold on for three points plus transfer latest on Moises Caicedo and Yves Bissouma
Phil Foden broke the deadlock shortly before the half-time whistle, with a smart finish from outside the box.
Brighton defended resolutely throughout and the hosts were unable to extend their advantage, even from the penalty spot. Substitute Raheem Sterling blazed his effort over the bar after Kevin De Bruyne was brought down by the otherwise impressive Albion goalkeeper, Robert Sanchez, in injury time.
