Manuel Akanji was happy with Manchester City's 3-1 win against Brighton on Saturday, particularly as it involved a VAR call going in City's favour.
Goals from Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne saw City through a tricky match, with Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton playing with a directness and confidence few teams do when visiting the Etihad. City showed quality and grit to make sure they got the three points, something that was important to do after losing to Liverpool last weekend.
"It wasn't easy today but in the end it's the three points that matter," Akanji told BBC Radio Manchester after the game. "We knew we had to get back with three points against Brighton. In the end we couldn't keep the clean sheet but hopefully we'll do it in the next game."
