Pep Guardiola's Manchester City returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Brighton.
Norway international Erling Braut Haaland was the standout performer in the first half, scoring with the only two shots on goal. Ederson assisted the 22-year-old with the opening goal.
The ex-BVB striker beat the Brighton goalkeeper outside the box before smashing into an empty net and converting a penalty awarded by Video Assistant Referee after Dunk fouled Bernardo Silva.Trossard equalized shortly after the break, rifling in at the near post, but Belgian midfielder Kelvin De Bruyne sealed the points with a superb effort from outside the box.
That victory reduces the gap at the top of the table to just one point. Although Arsenal don't play until tomorrow, their focus now shifts to their UEFA Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, while the Seagulls host the Blues at the Amex Stadium next weekend.

Jude Bellingham proves Lionel Messi's point as opinion on England star emerges
After dazzling for Borussia Dortmund, Jude Bellingham has received a glowing endorsement from none other than Lionel Messi this week.
Jude Bellingham has risen quickly since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2020, and he came close to receiving the ultimate honor at the Ballon d'Or ceremony earlier this week.
The England star was one of the nominees for the prestigious Golden Boy award at the glitzy event in Paris on Monday night. However, he was beaten to the trophy by Barcelona wonderkid Gavi.
Lionel Messi, who chose Bellingham as his third-choice pick in the voting, gave Bellingham a glowing endorsement. Getting the nod from Messi, a former seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, is no easy task - and Bellingham validated the Argentine's decision with another brilliant performance for Dortmund on Saturday afternoon.Bellingham was instrumental in the German team's 5-0 win over Stuttgart, scoring twice, one of which was a stunner. Edin Terzic's side, which has moved up to fourth in the Bundesliga, also had goals from Niklas Sule, Giovanni Reyna, and 17-year-old Youssoufa Moukoko.
Bellingham has drawn attention in Europe this season, but had yet to score in the league until Saturday's game. With his brace against Stuttgart, the talented teenager has now scored eight goals in all competitions this season, two more than he did in the entire 2021/22 campaign.Bellingham's impressive form has piqued the interest of some of Europe's biggest clubs, including Liverpool, who are rumored to be interested in signing the midfielder next summer.
