Raheem Sterling and Sergio Aguero found the target in either half of the match as Manchester City comfortably defeated Brighton and Hove Albion to climb to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday.
The English winger scored the opener for the defending champions from a selfless cross off Leroy Sane. The German forward came up from the left in front of an open goal and it calmly netted by Sterling to score his fourth goal of the season. After the break, it was Argentine forward and City’s most prolific goalscorer Aguero who scored the team’s second and his 15th in 11 League appearances at the Etihad as the defending champions geared up in style for their match against title favourites Liverpool on October 7.
At the Emirates, it was Arsenal who crept into the top five of the table for the first time with a 2-0 win over Watford.
