Getty The Norwegian was back amongst the goals but left furious with the defence as the champions sunk to a fourth consecutive defeat
Manchester City were on the verge of crisis when they arrived in Brighton and they were left in meltdown when they left as they let another lead slip and sunk to a 2-1 defeat, bringing up the worst run of losses of Pep Guardiola's entire career. It had begun so well, Erling Haaland compensating for his wasteful night in Lisbon by powering them into a first-half lead.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler delivered a tactical masterclass in the second half though and City were powerless to stop their rampant attacks.
The hosts let their opponents off the hook with some abysmal finishing but they finally got a deserved equaliser in the 78th minute through Joao Pedro and five minutes later debutant Matt O'Riley finished the job, leaving Guardiola with plenty of thinking to do over the international break.
