Manchester City hit SEVEN past Brighton and finally have their fizz back after a fine performance that signalled they are back to their best

Seven goals, 80 per cent possession, 888 completed passes and, most importantly, three points that take them above Arsenal and into the Champions League places. This was about as dominant as Manchester City have been all season.

It probably should have been even more. But this was a performance that signalled City are back to their best.

A brace from Caroline Weir and a goal from Steph Houghton put them 3-0 ahead at half-time. Ellen White, Chloe Kelly and Janine Beckie added their names to the scoresheet after the break, and Houghton got her second with a superb free-kick.
