Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden speaking to Sky Sports after his two goals against Brighton: "There are a challenging team. They like to go man-to-man. I think with Kev's first goal and a bit lucky with my first one, we grew into the game. I think we were frightened going forward.

"I have always said that I see myself centrally. This year I have moved inside and it has helped me massively. I enjoy it in the middle. It's where I want to be. At the moment, I am just enjoying my football and playing with freedom."

On playing with Kevin de Bruyne: "I think when he is at it, he is the best player in the Premier League. It is nice that I am playing inside with him and hopefully we can do it more.

"We just want to win game-by-game and push for the title. We don't get ahead of ourselves. Now the next game is coming quickly. Try to recover and we go again."
