Glenn Murray put Brighton ahead in the 27th minute before Sergio Aguero levelled just 83 seconds later in a frantic first-half. City pushed again and Aymeric Laporte put them ahead with a bullet header from a corner just before half-time. Riyad Mahrez's shot from range added to their lead just after the hour mark before Ilkay Gundogan sealed it with a wonderful free-kick.
Here's all the latest reaction from the Amex.

198 points across two seasons. Ridiculous.
Manchester City retain their crown.
It has finished at Anfield, a commendable 2-0 win not enough for Liverpool, who finish second with 97 points, somehow.
The Manchester City players mob Yaya Toure, ostensibly on punditry duties post-game, chanting the names of Yaya and brother Kolo.
14 straight wins to seal it. A truly magnificent football team.
