Man City beats Brighton 4-0 to stay on course for another Premier League title. Phil Foden scores 2

BRIGHTON, England (AP) — Manchester City chalked up another big win in its hunt for an unprecedented fourth straight Premier League title, with Phil Foden continuing his career-best scoring season with two goals in a 4-0 thrashing of Brighton on Thursday.

Foden’s first-half double came between goals by Kevin De Bruyne and Julian Alvarez as City extended its unbeaten run in the league to 18 games and trimmed the gap to leader Arsenal to one point.

City has five games remaining — one more than Arsenal — and, on current form, is showing no sign of slipping up in the final stretch that still contains trips to Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Tottenham as well as home matches against Wolverhampton and West Ham.

Win all five of those games and City is the champion again. No team has ever won four successive top-flight titles in the history of English soccer.
