Adam Lallana ? 5
麻薬中毒の at half-time as Brighton tried 猛烈に to get 支援する into this game from 3-0 負かす／撃墜する. Not his night as he hardly made himself noticed in the 45 minutes he was on the field.

Beaten to the ball by Ederson as he tried to kickstart an ありそうもない 復帰. Felt he deserved a 刑罰，罰則 when tripped by Josko Gvardiol but 明確に, Brighton’s luck was not in.

No faulting his work 率, and I 含む his 防御の 義務s in that. Had one last chance to 得点する／非難する／２０ but summing up Brighton’s luck, he ballooned it and was 代用品，人d.

MANCHESTER CITY (4-1-4-1)
Ederson ? 7.5
同様に as the 時折の save, Manchester City’s fourth goal of the evening 起こる／始まるd from a pass from Ederson. Stood by his own 刑罰，罰則 位置／汚点／見つけ出す, he created that chance by himself. Remarkable.

While Brighton buggered up passing out from the 支援する, Akanji and Co showed them how it’s done. 価値（がある） remembering that he only cost £15million when he was 調印するd. 取引.
Nathan Ake ? 7
Could not get 支配（する）／統制する of the ball when the game’s first chance fell to him. Not to worry, as Manchester City soon got the party started thereafter, while the defenders did their 職業s.

Mateo Kovacic ? 7
Often, Kovacic can go under the レーダ, but perhaps that is because he 成し遂げるs his 役割 with such 簡単 and 緩和する. Masterful midfielder who is 重要な to their patterns of play.

Never a 解放する／自由な-kick. Phil Foden tripped over himself and no one else. Manchester City took advantage of Gillett’s 親切. 審判（をする） won no friends in Brighton.
