Manchester City 4 goals against Brighton

On the points table, Manchester City, with one game in hand, accumulated 76 points, trailing league leaders Arsenal by just 1 point, still maintaining their position at the forefront of the title race.

Despite the absence of their frontline ace Haaland, Manchester City faced Brighton, a team with decent strength.

However, the defending champions had little trouble securing a convincing victory on the road.

In the first half, De Bruyne scored with a leaping header, while Foden capitalized on a free-kick to score directly, gleefully accepting Brighton's gift and completing a brace.

Throughout the match, Manchester City players, under the command of Guardiola, displayed mastery and ease. 

With this resounding victory, Manchester City secured their fourth consecutive win in the league and scored a total of 17 goals.

Alvarez also found the 4th goal!

As a result, Manchester City have narrowed the gap in goal difference with Arsenal to just 8 goals.

Following this comprehensive victory, Manchester City remained undefeated in all competitions for 30 matches, with their last defeat dating back to December 7th last year, a 0-1 loss to Aston Villa.

Among these 30 unbeaten matches, Manchester City remained undefeated in 18 Premier League matches, with 14 wins and 4 draws.

With such stability in the final sprint, Manchester City undoubtedly make their title rivals Arsenal feel hopeless.

After passing the Brighton test, Manchester City have 5 remaining league matches this season. 

Except for Nottingham Forest, who need points to avoid relegation, Fulham, Wolves, and West Ham are all "unambitious" teams, making it difficult for them to resist Manchester City.

Manchester City's title defense is on the way

Perhaps the final challenge for Manchester City's title defense is the away game against Tottenham. 

In the first leg of the season, Manchester City were held to a draw at home by Tottenham. 

Considering Tottenham's history of being a tricky opponent for Manchester City, they will undoubtedly pose the last obstacle for Manchester City to achieve their fourth consecutive Premier League title.
