City have now won 21 consecutive matches at the Etihad Stadium in all competitions since the start of the calendar year.
That is a new record-winning run at home by a Premier League team, breaking the previous best set by United in 2010-11.
WHAT THEY SAID
Pep Guardiola was impressed by his team, telling reporters: "Against Brighton for 95 mins, controlling them is impossible. No team in the world can do that. I am surprised we did it for 55-60 minutes. They link with the strikers and we went man to man with Julian [Alvarez] and Erling [Haaland]."
He added: "I give credit to the team for victory."
