Man City lost to Brighton, Guardiola reached the lowest point of his career

Man City lost 1-2 at Brighton in round 11 of the Premier League. For the first time under coach Pep Guardiola, Man City suffered 4 consecutive losses.

Despite playing away from home and not having their strongest squad, Man City still took the initiative in attacking. In the first half, Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen made 4 saves.

The home team still could not keep a clean sheet against the threat of the opponent. Erling Haaland rushed forward bravely, received a pass from Mateo Kovacic and scored the opening goal in the 23rd minute. In addition, the Norwegian striker also missed 2 other opportunities.

After dominating the first half, Man City lost control in the second half. Brighton improved their ball possession and created more chances. The turning point that helped the home team turn the situation around was the appearance of Joao Pedro - a player who had just recovered from injury.

More than 10 minutes after being put on the field, Pedro took advantage of the confusion of the Man City defenders to score the equalizer. Not long after, this striker assisted Matt O'Riley to put Brighton ahead.

Man City went all out in the final minutes of the match. However, in the entire second half, the away team only managed one shot on target. Kevin De Bruyne's return from injury could not help Man City improve the situation.

Man City could not score an equalizer, losing 1-2 in the end. Brighton won against this opponent for the first time after 15 matches.
