Brighton hands Man City and Pep fourth consecutive defeat

Brighton completed a comeback to win 2-1 against Manchester City in the EPL as that was the Sky Blues 4^th consecutive defeat in all tournaments – something that had never happened before with Guardiola as their manager.

The Sky Blues were in a series of 3 straight defeats in all tournaments before the match today. With Pep Guardiola as head coach, Man City have never lost 4 consecutive games and it was clear that the players will be motivated to avoid another defeat.

That’s exactly what happened and the only goal in the 1^st half scored Erling Haaland in the 23^rd minute after Manchester City started the match very well. After that, however, the Seagulls started to play better and Dany Welbeck had a fantastic opportunity to tie the result but he missed and the half ended with 1-goal lead for the visitors.

In the 2^nd half, however, there was only 1 team on the pitch. Brighton dominated but missed chance after chance until the 78^th minute when Joao Pedro scored to tie the result. Only 5 minutes later, the Seagulls made a full comeback when Matt O’Riley scored after Pedro’s assist.
