Manchester City made a triumphant return to action on Saturday, October 22, 2022, with a dominant performance against Brighton. Despite playing with ten men for most of the match, City secured an impressive victory, thanks to goals from Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland in the first half.

Alvarez opened the scoring in the 21st minute, while Haaland doubled the lead just ten minutes later. Brighton's hopes of a comeback were dashed in the 57th minute when Lewis Dunk was sent off for a second bookable offense. With the numerical advantage, City controlled the tempo of the game and secured their third consecutive victory in all competitions.

Manchester City's victory extends their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to five matches. They have now won ten of their 12 meetings with Brighton, with the only exceptions being a draw in May 2021 and a loss in May 2022. The win also sees City move up to second place in the Premier League table, two points behind leaders Arsenal.
