Match Report
Manchester City lost at Brighton for the second year running as they went down 2-1 at the Amex Stadium.
City took the lead in the 34th-minute as Erling Haaland prodded the ball home from close range. Brighton had been really poor in the first half and they didn't start the second much better, meaning Fabian Hürzeler turned to his bench.
His quadruple change turned the game on its head, with Brighton equalising midway through the second half from the penalty spot. Matheus Nunes was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area and James Milner made no mistake from the spot.
Both teams pushed for a winner late on but it was the home side who found the third goal of the game, with Brajan Gruda slotting home.
It's now two defeats in a row for City after last weekend's loss to Tottenham, meaning they have taken just three points from their opening three Premier League games.

Who made him best coach in the world idiot.... He can never be the best.... When he came to premiership he spent too much money while the other teams are in problem. Like Chelsea and Manchester United.. Liverpool was never there not till of resent. So no team to compete with his Manchester City, but now everyone has spent money and are getting themselves back. Meaning he cannot achieve anything in the premiership again. Except by luck 1 trophy in 2 seasons.... 👎👎👎👎
