da doce: Kyle Walker’s Manchester City career has got off to a positive start after he was named BT Sport’s Man of the Match for his performance in the club’s Premier League opener against Brighton.
da stake casino: Pep Guardiola’s side finished the first Saturday of the new season with a 2-0 victory over Chris Hughton’s newly-promoted team at the Amex.
After Chelsea and Liverpool dropped points, it was up to the blue half of Manchester to take advantage on their away trip.
The deadlock could not be broken in the first half as the Seagulls were stubborn, but City eventually turned it around when Sergio Aguero netted in the 70th minute.
Unfortunately for Brighton, they gifted the visitors a two-goal lead when Lewis Dunk inadvertently headed the ball into his own net in an attempt to clear it.
City were deserved winners on the day, and one man who stood out was Walker, as he slotted into the right-back spot with ease.
The England international joined City this summer from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal that The Guardian claims could eventually rise to £53m, which would make him the most expensive defender in world football.
Walker’s departure from Spurs upset many fans, and it was not easy for some to see him line up in a City shirt today.
