Manchester City beat Brighton by two goals to 1 after suffering two successive losses
Manchester City beat Brighton and Hove Albion today by two goals to 1 after losing to Arsenal and Wolves consecutively. Manchester City’s performance at the start of the season was uncontested, and the Club beat all its opponents until Wolves broke that record and Arsenal followed suit.
Manchester City is hungry for a win to compete on the League Table, and they defeated Brighton today. Pep Guardiola expects to win his next two matches against Brighton and Manchester United. He seems to be gearing towards that mission, but that is until after he defeats Manchester United next week.
The Sky Blues and Seagulls have played several games in the English Premier League, of which Manchester City was the dominant party. Only one match in their last ten games, including today, resulted in a draw on 24 May 2023.
Manchester City won eight of the last ten Premier League matches between the clubs, and BHA won just a single match. The last time Brighton defeated the Sky Blues was on 18 May 2021, when City lost to Brighton by three goals to two.
Manchester City scored an early goal in the 7th minute after Julián Álvarez converted an assist from Jérémy Doku into the net. Twelve minutes after the first goal, Erling Haaland scored the second goal to extend the lead for the Sea Blues.
In the 73rd minute, the substitute, Ansu Fati, scored Brighton’s first goal with a strike to give hope to the Seagulls. BHA, expecting to equalize, could not find the net again after Fati’s goal, which served as a consolation goal for the club. Today’s loss is Brighton’s second away match loss this season.
As the match rolled into regulation time, Brighton and Hove Albion struggled to equalize; Manchester City defended their lead; Manuel Akanji got a second yellow card for pulling down Ansu Fati, resulting in a red card for the defender. The Sea Blues won, but it was a bad day for Manuel Akanji.
