Man City have a new Yaya Toure as they take the title fight to Liverpool FC
Kevin De Bruyne is turning into Manchester City’s ultimate big-game hunter - and make no mistake, this clash with the feisty Seagulls WAS a big game. After Liverpool’s ruthless destruction of an abysmal Manchester United the night before, City needed a win, and if possible a statement win, that would take them back to the top of the Premier League.
La insistencia de De Bruyne devuelve el liderato al City
Ahora tú, ahora yo. Parece que será esta la historia que se repita en la cima de la clasificación de aquí a final de temporada. Dos equipos, Manchester City y Liverpool, que están no uno, sino dos o tres peldaños por encima del resto. Dos equipos separados por un solo punto tras la victoria de los de Guardiola ante el Brighton, y después de que los de Klopp hicieran lo propio frente al Manchester United el martes. Arrancó bien el City, dominando y encerrando al Brighton en su campo. Aunque sin incomodarlo demasiado. Todo en orden. Unos, los locales tenían la pelota y generaban ocasiones. Los otros, los visitantes, viéndolas venir. Pero sin pasar demasiados apuros. Sobreviviendo. Como hicieron en el norte de Londres antes de sorprender a Arsenal y a Tottenham, en las últimas jornadas. Trataron de dar un paso adelante a la media hora de juego, estirando líneas y combinando hasta la frontal de Ederson, pero solo ofrecieron espacios para las carreras de los celestes.
