Defeated in its last three matches in all competitions, Manchester City had to restart the machine in Brighton, for the 11th day of the Premier League. For this trip to American Express Stadium, the Cityzens had to play without John Stones, Rúben Dias, Rodri, Jack Grealish and Oscar Bobb. But nothing to bother Pep Guardiola’s troops who were able to count on Erling Haaland (26th, 0-1), author of his 12th league goal of the season and his 75th goal in 77 PL matches.
In the second half, Ederson repelled Jack Hinshelwood’s attempted header (52nd) to protect City’s advantage. Erling Haaland then almost turned into a passer for Savinho, but Igor intercepted the ball at the last minute just in front of the Brazilian winger (56th). Seeing his team in difficulty, Fabian Hürzeler brought on João Pedro and Matthew O’Riley during the match. Coaching that proved to be a winner. Following a mix-up in the area, the Brazilian striker took the opportunity to beat Ederson and allow the Seagulls to equalize (78th, 1-1). Before the Danish midfielder gave Brighton the advantage, five minutes later (83rd, 2-1). With this victory, Brighton temporarily climbs to 4th place in the Premier League standings. On the opposing side, nothing is going well for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, beaten for the fourth time in a row. In the event of a victory against Aston Villa this Saturday evening, Liverpool will be five points ahead of the Skyblues at the top of the English championship.
