Match Highlights:

  • 23’: Erling Haaland put Manchester City ahead with a clinical finish after a brilliant assist from Mateo Kovacic. Haaland initially had his shot blocked but made no mistake on the rebound, putting City 1-0 up.
  • 51’: Ederson was called into action early in the second half, making a crucial save to deny Brighton’s Jack Hinshelwood from close range.
  • 78’: Brighton responded, with Joao Pedro scoring the equalizer after a scramble in the box, leveling the score at 1-1.
  • 83’: Matt O’Riley then completed the comeback, slotting home from Pedro’s assist to give Brighton a 2-1 lead.
  • 89’: Kevin De Bruyne came close to salvaging a point for City, but his powerful shot was narrowly off target, as Brighton held firm to secure all three points.

Despite dominating the first half, City struggled to maintain their lead in the second. Missing key players due to injury, including Jeremy Doku, Jack Grealish, and Ruben Dias, Manchester City were unable to find an equalizer after Brighton’s late surge. With nine minutes of added time, City’s hopes for a comeback were dashed as Brighton’s defense held strong.

Manager Reactions:

  • Pep Guardiola: “We played really well in the first half, but we need to maintain that level for longer periods. We’ll reflect and come back stronger.”
  • Kyle Walker: “It’s in these tough moments that true character comes through. We’ve built the foundations over the years, and we’ll get through this patch.”

Match Stats:

  • Brighton: Joao Pedro (78’), Matt O’Riley (83’)
  • Manchester City: Erling Haaland (23’)

Manchester City remains second in the Premier League, but they now face a tough challenge to bounce back as they head into their next match against Tottenham after the international break.
