Glenn Murray put Brighton ahead in the 27th minute before Sergio Aguero levelled just 83 seconds later in a frantic first-half. City pushed again and Aymeric Laporte put them ahead with a bullet header from a corner just before half-time. Riyad Mahrez's shot from range added to their lead just after the hour mark before Ilkay Gundogan sealed it with a wonderful free-kick.
Here's all the latest reaction from the Amex.

The first rendition of "Blue Moon" is enthusiastically belted out by the travelling fans, scarves waving, shirts coming off in the balmy evening sun.
The first of many this evening, one would imagine...
