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.

A lively but pleasant welcome for both sets of players at the Amex.
It is a quite magnificent afternoon. Footballing weather.
Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez rubs their hands, shake the legs, getting energy through their bodies.
Sergio Aguero ties his laces, double-knot, triple-knot.
It's time...
At the Amex, and around the country, the final day of the Premier League season has begun.
Brighton 0-0 Manchester City, 1 minute
Now then.
Manchester City look to be trying something a little different.
Bernardo Silva has started wide on the right, Riyad Mahrez wide on the left with Raheem Sterling floating behind Sergio Aguero.
Tinker.
Brighton 0-0 Manchester City, 2 minutes
Brighton pushing up high early on, not letting City settle into easy possession and pressing hard.
Brighton 0-0 Manchester City, 3 minutes
Yves Bissouma gets a toe in on Raheem Sterling but Pascal Gross soon hands the ball straight back to Manchester City.
Sterling is clearly in a roaming role.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Everton (Eric Dier, 2 minutes)
Tottenham are away, and on their way to the top four!
Eric Dier is the unlikely scorer of the opener, firing home after Everton fail to adequately clear an Erik Lamela corner.
Brighton 0-0 Manchester City, 5 minutes
First signs of Bernardo Silva's brand of brilliance, winning the ball high-up and setting on his merry way, twists, turns, past one, past two, but eventually just stopped.
Brighton then win a pair of corners in quick succession but as the second is taken short Glenn Murray is offside jostling for the cross.
