Pep Guardiola said he used Liverpool’s defeat at Everton as a reminder to his Manchester City players about the perils of football before they went to Brighton on Thursday night and won 4-0.
Twenty-four hours after Liverpool’s 2-0 derby defeat, City ran riot on the south coast, two goals from Phil Foden and one apiece from Kevin De Bruyne and Julián Álvarez ensuring they retained control of their destiny in the title race.
