Man City 1-0 Brighton LIVE highlights and reaction as Phil Foden wins it for Blues

A late Brighton free kick comes to nothing and the referee blows full time!

Phew!

Awful penalty. Sterling chips over the bar.

Kevin De Bruyne gets to a ball ahead of the goalkeeper and is brought down,

City are close to a win, but Brighton aren't done yet.

Brighton have had two corners in the last couple of minutes. The first didn't beat the first man, and Ederson had an easy catch for the second. Wasted chances for the visitors and City won't complain one bit.

Kevin De Bruyne is pushed over by Veltman in possession and has some words for the booked Brighton man but the referee tells them both to move away.

Khadra is on for his Brighton debut. Trossard off.

Gabriel Jesus has moved into the middle, so Steve McManaman has calmed down. Sterling on the left.

Phil Foden is replaced by Raheem Sterling.

City need to get a handle on this game. This is where they need leaders to see it out and play at their pace. Guardiola just screamed at Jesus after he gave the ball away in his own half.

Brighton sense they can nick a goal here, and are pressing forward as we approach 80 minutes. Ederson has been caught out a couple of times, and the visitors are growing in confidence.

Webster gets a booking for Brighton, bringing down Bernardo.

Steve McManaman, on BT Sport commentary, is incredulous that Gabriel Jesus has gone out to the left wing with Bernardo Silva staying central.

If he'd seen the game at the weekend, he'd know Jesus operated from the wing, and as he continues to recover from isolation, it's a better option to have him in the wide position.

Gabriel Jesus is on for Riyad Mahrez, who doesn't seem happy with it as he speaks to Pep Guardiola before sitting down.

Brighton replace striker Percy Tau and Davy Propper. Neal Maupay and Solly March are on.

Cancelo tiptoes into the area past a few helpless defenders and his shot is beaten away. Moments later, Kevin De Bruyne sees a shot saved too. Better from City.

The good news is City are creating chances, the bad news is they really need to take them. This game is opening up so more opportunities should come but Guardiola will know they should be out of sight by now.

Joel Veltman catches Phil Foden late and earns a booking.

Gabriel Jesus is being readied.

Gareth, you know what to do.

Riyad Mahrez is through on goal, shapes up the body and aims for the far corner but shoots wide, wastefully.

Then, Ilkay Gundogan forces a save and Bernardo sees a rebound come back off the post after doing well to keep possession.

Phil Foden is putting on a show for the England manager.

Davy Propper fires a volley towards goal from the edge of the area. Ederson is grateful it's straight at him and he collects.

Jesus, Torres, and Sterling all warming up at the start of this season half as City hunt a second goal. Brighton showed enough in the first half for Guardiola to be concerned about this scoreline.

We're back underway!

He's becoming an expert at those low, sharp finishes right in the bottom corner.

City looked like being held for the first 45 minutes but Phil Foden stepped up with a trademark low finish from the edge of the area to put the Blues ahead.

City will see this half out after taking the lead.

Oh that is lovely.

Kevin De Bruyne feeds Phil Foden, who turns on the edge of the area, advances along the 18-yard-line and fires a lovely low finish inside the near post.

City get a deserved lead.
