(Video) Furious Erling Haaland involved in heated bust up with Brighton Player after 2:1 loss🤬
Brighton transformed Manchester City’s blip into a crisis in the final minutes, scoring twice in five minutes to overcome the champions 2-1. This was only the second time in Pep Guardiola’s career that a team had suffered four consecutive losses.
City entered the game following three consecutive losses to Tottenham, Bournemouth, and Sporting. However, their difficulties appeared to be subsiding as the champions took the lead with 12 minutes remaining in the first half, thanks to Erling Haaland’s goal.
However, Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley, who were recently injured and making their delayed Premier League debuts after an ankle injury impeded their summer transfer from Celtic, emerged from the bench to send the Amex Stadium into a frenzy. This move not only cost City points in the title race but also propelled Fabian Hurzeler’s team into the top four for a brief period.
City dominated the early phases and took the lead when Haaland surged through and poked past Bart Verbruggen at the second attempt. However, they slowed down after the 30th minute, which allowed Brighton to reenter the game.
