That third goal was a direct message to Brighton that they didn't come to play today, there were a lot of highs and lows for the Manchester side the last time they faced Brighton and even though they ended up winning the game, it was quite a hard watch for the fans.
Brighton were half expecting things to be the way it was last time but they seemed to have forgotten that this team didn't have Axel and Victor the last time they faced them.
This was the second time this season that they were conceding three goals in the first half and they knew just how tough it was to come back from three goals, especially if your opponent was Manchester City.
Nevertheless, the away team tried their best to at least pull one back before the first half came to an end but so far, Manchester City were making that quite difficult for them.
