Raheem Sterling scored one goal and assisted another as Manchester City made it four consecutive Premier League wins, beating Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0, to go top.
After Sergio Aguero had an overhead kick blocked on four minutes, Sterling opened the scoring just before the half-hour.
The winger finished off Leroy Sane's cross after a quick counter-attack.
Aguero got his fifth PL goal of the season net with 25 minutes remaining, after a brilliant one-two with Sterling.
The result sent Man City top on 19 points, after Chelsea and Liverpool drew 1-1 later in the day.
Brighton slip to 14th with five points.
