After Tottenham in the round of 16 of the League Cup (2-1), Bournemouth during the tenth day of the Premier League (2-1) and Sporting during the fourth day of the Champions League (4-1), this It’s Brighton’s turn to take the scalp of Manchester City. Saturday on their grounds, the Seagulls
have had Skyblues with a score of 2-1 (11th day of PL). Manchester City’s catastrophic series continues.
Never in his coaching career has Pep Guardiola had four defeats in a row. For his team, this is not unprecedented, but we have to go back to August 2006 to find traces of such a black series. However, the Mancunians took things the right way by opening the scoring through Erling Haaland (0-1, 23rd). But the situation was completely reversed in the second half.
Liverpool can benefit
Surely well aware that the Cityzens were more manageable than ever at the moment, the locals played on an equal footing with their opponents. So much so that their efforts ended up paying off at the end of the game. It was first Joao Pedro who equalized (1-1, 78th), before Matthew O’Riley, served by his team’s first scorer, gave his team victory (2-1, 83rd). This second setback in a row in the league leaves Manchester City in second place which they will retain at the end of this day. On the other hand, Liverpool can take advantage of this to move away at the top of the rankings. THE Reds To do so, they will have to win against Aston Villa (9 p.m.).
A little earlier in the day, Brentford won at home against Bournemouth (3-2), Wolverhampton won the low-ranked duel against Southampton (2-0) and Fulham won at Crystal Palace (0 -2). As for West Ham and Everton, they held each other in check (0-0).
