FULL-TIME: Two goals in the final twenty minutes sees Manchester City earn a hard-fought victory over newly-promoted Brighton and Hove Albion to kick-off their Premier League campaign.
Sergio Aguero broke the deadlock on 70 minutes and shortly after Lewis Dunk then turned the ball into his own net.
90'+1
We're into the first of three additional minutes at the end of the match. Brighton fans are making a wonderful noise - fair play.

88'
BT Sports have awarded Kyle Walker the man of the match accolade. A fair assessment, eh Spurs fans?
87'
A productive day for Pep Guardiola and his team then. They haven't been entirely convincing, but at least have avoided a shock defeat on the opening weekend, unlike title rivals Chelsea who lost to Burnley earlier.

GOAL! Brighton 0-2 Manchester City.
Under pressure from Jesus, Dunk heads the ball into his own net, after Fernandinho delivered a delicious cross. Game over, surely.
73'
City are hungrier for more as Walker is fouled on the flank. However, De Bruyne's delivery from the subsequent free-kick is poor.
72'
City deserve their lead - but it's so, so cruel on Brighton. They had defended so well, but one mistake at this level is always likely to be punished.

GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Manchester City.
The break-through finally comes for the visitors - and it's Sergio Aguero on the score-sheet. He's played through by David Silva - after Stephens conceded possession - and makes no mistake as he slides the ball coolly past Ryan.

MAN CITY SUB
Here it is: Leroy Sane takes the place of Danilo.
65'
De Bruyne sees his shot deflected out for a corner, and it may have even struck the arm of a Brighton defender. The resulting corner comes to little. City are STILL looking for the breakthrough and they haven't really troubled the hosts for over 10 minutes now.
63'
And they're making PLENTY of noise...
61'
And STILL no change from Man City. Sterling and Sane are also options for Pep Guardiola.
60'
Brighton begin to turn the screw...
