<p>City kept up their Premier League title charge after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-brighton-phil-foden-runs-the-show-in-4-0-demolition-as-pep-guardiola-s-keep-breathing-down-arsenal-s-necks-in-intense-premier-league-title-chase/bltf93ac262a05730ff" target="_blank">thrashing Brighton at the Amex</a> on Thursday night. Kevin De Bruyne's header, a Foden double, and a Julian Alvarez strike secured all three points on a memorable day for the club and the England international in particular. That's because he scored his 50th Premier League goal and became only the third player to score 50 top-flight goals under Pep Guardiola while aged 23 or younger. A certain Messi and Haaland are also in that exclusive club. He then added a 51st to his record with his second goal.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">50 - Phil Foden has scored his 50th Premier League goal, and is only the third player to score 50 top-flight goals under Pep Guardiola while aged 23 or younger, after Lionel Messi and Erling Haaland.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>City's win brought them to within one point of Premier League leaders Arsenal and Guardiola's side also have a game in hand in Mikel Arteta's men. After being knocked out of the Champions League last week,  City have bounced back with a bang. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>According to Opta, City are only the fourth side to score more than four goals in four consecutive Premier League games after Manchester United in April 2000, themselves in May 2022 and Arsenal in March 2024.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Defending Premier League champions City will look to continue their winning run, which includes four straight victories, away to relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon.</p>
