Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish both showed room for improvement that can help Manchester City moving forward
Manchester City went back to the future to end their worst Premier League run in five years by returning to the top of the table.
The warning signs were there inside five minutes when Doku cut inside the box but fired over the bar, and minutes later he was afforded far too much time to waltz his way into the area before cutting back for Julian Alvarez to turn home his seventh goal of the season. The finish was scuffed but enough, which seemed to sum up City's afternoon.
That Brighton emerged only two down was largely the result of the rawness in Doku. He has the ability to terrorise defenders and tore Milner to shreds, yet at the same time his finishing was poor and was careless in getting caught offside so often. This was the Grealish of his debut season rather than his second however, disruptive enough to earn a booking for protesting without giving the ball retention and smart decisions that made him so immovable from Guardiola's plans last season. He will surely improve, but there is now a real challenge for him to do so.
Yet here they are, top of the table despite all of that - at least until Arsenal play Chelsea - after beating one of the most impressive teams in the league led by one of the most admired coaches. That is mostly down to the fact that even when they are not at their best, they are still fighting.
