Manchester City fans were more than a little relieved to see their side finally break the deadlock against Brighton on Wednesday.
Having started the day in second following Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Manchester United on Tuesday, City knew they needed to respond with a victory of their own. There was a degree of nervousness around the Etihad as the hosts were left frustrated in their early efforts.
Despite City dominating the first half and creating numerous chances, Brighton managed to hang on to keep the scores level at half-time. But City didn’t have to wait too long after the break to finally get their reward.
