Brighton pick up first away league victory over Man City to go third
Brighton pick up their first away league victory at Manchester City after winning 1-0 at the Etihad to condemn City to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.
Brighton secured a 1-0 victory against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, marking their first away league win at the venue. Yasin Ayari scored the winning goal in the 11th minute. The result marks Manchester City's second consecutive Premier League defeat following a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa last weekend.
According to The Indian Express, the loss leaves Manchester City's position at the top of the standings precarious. While City remains in first place, Arsenal holds a game in hand and is tied on points in second place. Arsenal could move into the top spot with a win or a draw against Liverpool on Sunday.
Following the match, Elliot Anderson told City TV that the team was on top for large periods and created many chances but failed to convert them. The match also ended Erling Haaland's streak of scoring in seven consecutive league games.
