You know City is in "win the title"-mode when KDB starts scoring headers like he is Van Persie. These guys are inevitable.

That KDB header was COLD

I think City getting out of UCL pretty much sealed the league title. With all their concentration on the league I don't see them dropping off.

As great as Foden has been this season, De Bruyne’s output per minutes played this season is ridiculous and miles ahead of Foden. Going forward, Pep should be looking at playing De Bruyne 60-65 minutes most matches to keep him healthy and fresh. Because a healthy De Bruyne is insanely efficient at generating goals. See below. De Bruyne: 1,292 minutes played, 6 goals, 14 assists, G/A every 64.6 minutes Foden: 3,842 minutes played, 24 goals, 10 assists, G/A every 113 minutes

When KDB is playing like this, bet against the odds at your own peril.

KDB is the last elite footballer left after Messi and Ronaldo. Enjoy it while it lasts.

City are so much more enjoyable to watch when opponents like Brighton and Luton (FA Cup match when Haaland had 5 goals) don’t just camp out on the edge of their own penalty area with 11 players behind the ball. Unfortunately, most clubs (Liverpool being an exception and Villa at home in December) do just that, including Real Madrid in the 2nd leg. Having said that, it’s very clear why City opponents virtually never attempt to play toe to toe with them in open space and instead revert to extreme low blocks. Because they can’t get anywhere near the ball and City’s quality shines through even more in an open space game. For all the criticism Haaland has recently received, it’s very clear that most opponents have attempted to squeeze both him and Alvarez out of the game and reduce matches with City to an 11v9 contest in the defensive third of the pitch. As a neutral, I completely understand why opponents do this against City but it really takes away from seeing both City and Haaland at their very best. Which, of course, is the reason why City’s opponents do precisely what they do.

KDB’s header was ruthless and put away with authority.💪💙🦈💙🦈

KDB HAS JUST PUT HIS GAME INTO SECOND GEAR 🔥🔥🔥🐐

I don't think these guys like cityzen but we don't care

City won 4 0 with total domination and these biased pundits talk about incorrect foul by referee 😅😅😅

This is so insane...when Arsenal slapped them 5-0 these same people clapped for Arsenal, now City beat them 4-0 and they choose to focus on Brighton not on City ....

Pep about to win his 6th tittle in 7 years and PL fans have the audacity to call other leagues '"farmers leagues" even more embarrassing when you realize there are 7 other Teams in the PL that have the same resources as Man City which isnt the case for PSG and Bayern Competitors

Pep is making a mockery out of the "tOuGhEsT leAgUe iN tHe wOrLd" GOAT by miles 🐐😂

"a team that many thought might be the slip up for Manchester City"... who thought this??? literally no one thought this lol

Come on Liverpool. You can do it. You can beat Everton Come on Arsenal. You can beat Aston Villa.

Mancity are winning the league. Arsenal will definitely bottle it to spurs.

Surely the De Bruyne headed goal has to be in the running for goal of the season. What a fabulous piece of football.

As an Arsenal fan, this is really exciting, what a goal from de Bruyne. Fight Gooners fight until the last whistle

Re: two of the four goals City scored: How often have we seen freekicks being scored because a team didn't put a player on the ground in their wall? I can't remember many, if at all. And how often have we seen goals being scored because teams try to play out from the back when they clearly shouldn't have? It's mind boggling that teams think they're "playing it safe" by putting a draft excluder on the wall when stats show there's a fairly low chance of a team scoring a freekick that way. Is it because they'd look stupid if an opponent rolls the ball under their wall? Well, how stupid do they look trying to play the ball out of the back and conceding a goal?

Brighton were tryna play like city from back they clearly shouldn't try to play like city they should play for how they play

Another team bends over for City, once again.

City will win EPL for sure. Too bad Arsenal sliiped a couple times this month.

Man City are everything Liverpool wish they could be. Knowing how to win games at the tail end of the season. Taking the emotions away and making it clearly about business. And just having the players that know how and when to close off a season.

What Arsenal can do, City can do better!

Why are they criticizing Brighton for playing how they play…it’s what Brighton do, they play with risk, they also are safe from relegation and aren’t gonna finish in the top 4 or top 6 plus no one expects them to beat Man City anyway so what’s the downside to playing your game the way you want? You get beat 4-0 by City? Who cares? It’s what City do…the upside is if you can play the way you play against City and get a result, it means you can do it against any other team…didnt work out today but Brighton literally have nothing to lose

It wasn't a free kick, but the defending for free kick is dreadful. Brighton could have gotten a penalty for consolation.

The “penalty” from Rodri wasn’t a penalty. The contact was outside of the box.

City will win the title

The problem for Brighton was City was almost playing with 3 number 10’s there were no natural predictable wingers, the movement of Bernardo and kovacic was too sick

Lol I told you ally England is blue and Will always be pep the y

Man City are the most enjoyable team to watch. Always Free flowing, attack attack and attack. 👌

Shaka with good points, especially about Ederson's accurate long ball kicks. And Franck spot on about De Zerbi's tactics, which never change and he's getting found out this his 2nd season in charge cause other clubs and managers have adjusted and figured out how to beat his style. Title race is over, it's ice cold as opposed to white hot. Ref and Var favourite boys- Man City, have already won.

Amazing fact…..this was KDBs first headed goal in the PL ever!……incredible

City are experts in the final stretch of the tournament. The depth of their squad and the rotations that Guardiola goes throughout the year allows the players to reach May and June with players full of energies while other teams are already exhausted by the 60th minute. I don’t see City dropping any points, they will definitely win the Premier and they will definitely win the FA Cup Final as well.

0:04 don't bet your money and listen to ESPN at the same time. That's how accurate these guys are.

WHAT IF my auntie had cojones, 4-0, Man City march on. Before you say anything I'm not a city fan.

Those who are saying city are boring in the comments are delusional.

FODEN AND RODRI 💪💙 NEED TO KEEP PLAYING WELL!! BALLON DOR LEVEL PLAYER'S ...

Brighton try to play like us it’s very identical from the back but only one team can play from the back with precise perfection

If city win a 5th title in a row they should rename the prem the Man City premier league

That's the problem with De zerbi. A good coach should be tactically versatile. Use different approach especially when the opposition is better than you. This can hinder his chances signing for a bigger club. His team conceed alot of goals playing that style of game.

Boring after every City game it is the same analysis of how the ref helped City. Do better ESPN

CITY IS IN THAT MOOD AGAIN😂

Funny how you guys barley mentioned about referee decision against barca (psg)😂 ESPN really hates Barcelona 😂😂

City is playing good football but you all only say they are not at they best but they have gone 30games without a lost, Come on,, this city is far from arsenal with all they achieve last year and they are still there. Give them respect

Refs, 115 charges, FA everything in City's pockets.

Only one word ,city has won and that was the plan of the day, Anyone was busy thinking city will drop today,,it not easy as anyone thinks.. One game at a time and we move

If you don’t watch Brighton every week, I get this perspective. But half the team were kids-we’re down 10 key 1st team players, most with season ending injuries. It was Valentine Barcos prem debut and he gave up goal 3 and 4 but it was necessity and its how these players improve over time.

Van persie goal and Kevin debruyne goal which one is better… Header

ESPN by far the most bias set of pundits around.

Man City was unplayable yesterday, they were on top of the game, no matter what the referee decision was they would have won it.

Brighton made it easy for Man City…stroll in the park

That Foden slip free kick was stupid. Why is it that city gets the questionable calls in favor of them and no one bats an eye. But when it happens to any other fanbase, they call it out.

When was the last time that a ref/VAR gave City a bad call that wasn't correct? It's strange how they seem to get every call for them, even the wrong ones... Against Spurs back in December??

Oh dearie... can Forest try to bully City 😂

When you can't handle the kings of Europe just settle for the mighty Brighton.

Title race? It is over ESPN.

Man City has a good chance of winning the league even though I think Arsenal and Liverpool still have a chance. Brighton were disappointing. I think De Zerbi is a very good manager but not in the class of Pep, Klopp, Ancelotti etc

One thing for sure, City going to have a game in hand.

I needed that 5th goal badly. I am a fan of goals for my pocket

Didn’t see the game. Didn’t care. There’s no red hot title race. Unfortunately city will win this thing

I dont understand, it seems as if these guys are angry at briton because city won

If u play like Man City against Man City u are in big Trouble

The Man City hate here is insane.

It was a kyle walker cross franque labeef

Goals change games. Ref decision can chsngame. Never a free kick in million years.

CITIZENS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!! KEVIN DYBRUNE BALLER 👑✔...

City slap a team that plays open football = opposition is naive. City scrape past a team that plays 10 behind the ball = city are boring... 🤷‍♂️

Oh Steve

Point is Brighton made some pretty poor decisions and against the wrong team.... They've basically given City 2 goals in that game and that's something city won't say no to.... This was the one game where Brighton should've just been business like and get it in the City half but they tried to be City against City, crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This Brighton might be the most overhyped team in history.

Whats the point in having var? You telling me a fully grown adult watched joao pedro get taken out in the box and said nah thats not a penalty? What are we doing here?

BROGHTON JUST CAME AGAINST THE MASTERS OF PASSING man city...and they are brighton playing g ther weak team for injuries ..so it was very clear they were loosing before match started

KDB, help from referee and help from Brighton. Referee killed the game with the second goal. All in all easy game for Man City.

Brighton was playing from the back the whole game and made one fatal mistake and those guys spend 90 per cent of the analysis questioning this particular strategy.

City is always the favorite thanks to PGMOL. They have at least 5 points more than they should, while Liverpool has at least 5 points less. PGMOL has crowned City again as the PL champions...with the help of the PL officials.

Man city played no body!! seems like these people set this fixture ,just for city to win my honest opinion

2 penalties... and NONE was given?? Wow!!

These clowns have zero knowledge of this game.

The title race is blue cold!

No team can beat MC at their own style of play... Brighton's big mistake

Even though Arsenal are in 1st place having played a game more than City, I personally think that this is Manchester City’s title to lose. Because Liverpool have choked big time, the premier league title is now between Manchester City and Arsenal. They’re literally a different team when it comes down to the business end of the season and once again at a time where the title race is heating up they’ve won their last 4 league games. All of those wins they’ve scored at least 4+ goals or more and did more of the same against Brighton and already got the job done in the first half. Because they have a game in hand, all Manchester City has to do is win the rest of their games and it’s not always as easy as you think it is because they’ll have to play Tottenham away from home and as we all know they always struggle at Tottenham Hotspur stadium and while they broke that hoodoo this year in the FA Cup, they’ve scored just 1 goal there, they’ve never won a premier league game there or even score a goal in the PL in that stadium. Some of these remaining games that they have (Wolves Nottingham Forest Fulham and West Ham) and those are winnable games for them, don’t be surprised if they drop points to one of the mid table or relegation threatened teams. They play Nottingham Forest on Sunday and just a reminder that at Nottingham last season City drew to them 1-1. I expect them to take care of business because some have a feeling that Arsenal will somehow manage to crumble and drop points before the season ends.

The Title isn't red hot, the Title is long gone.

Nobody talks about the amount of times city is favoured by the refs..it's absolutely crazy..

Classic City to score from a deflected free kick that shouldn't have ever been given. They would've won either way but that killed the game. Let's make it 116.

That is the point. BHA' s favore to MNC

Can you imagine a professional like Shaka and an Arsenal fan talking about "what if"... What if all man city's chances went it

Brighton play like they were champion already

Shaka...don't mention Liverpool for anything. Nothing personal but you jinx teams.

Frank is just happy when things go against Arsenal

I don't know why anyone would say Brighton could have had any chance to win this game. They were completely dominated less than 30 minutes into the game.

Means spurs with their do or die high defensive line won't beat city as well. Now we can only rely on 4 other teams to do low block and at least get a draw from city.

City would still win but City's 4th goal was a free kick and Brighton should've had a penalty.

Did the referee cause the defender in the wall to turn his back on the spot kick too? Gimme a freakin break! Smh.

3rd goal was suicide football

I wonder why foden didn't perform like this in the champions league against madrid

Frank The Beef Bla Bla Bla

refereeing incidents r telling on the game . Yes . But espn ws silent abt refereeing / var incidents in el clasico
