Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne made it 600 and 601 up for Pep Guardiola as City defeated a spirited
Brighton 3-1 here at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland's 16th and 17th goal of this Premier League season, as well as De Bruyne's scorching strike, earned a welcome three points for City as we bounced back from defeat away at Liverpool.
Our summer signing showed his pace and power for his first, on 22 minutes, as he ran on to Ederson's fine through ball before holding off defender Adam Webster, rounding keeper Robert Sánchez and sliding home.
Then, on 43 minutes, he blasted home a spot-kick, earned by Bernardo Silva after the Portuguese was brought down in the box by Lewis Dunk.
That second goal meant that Guardiola had overseen 600 goals for City in the Premier League since arriving at the start of the 2016-17 campaign, with De Bruyne ensuring 601.
Haaland became the first City man to score in seven consecutive home games since Sergio Aguero in the
2017-18 campaign.
