Manchester City suffered their second straight defeat of the Premier League season on Sunday afternoon as they were beaten 2–1 by Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.
Erling Haaland was the difference-maker during the first half as he scored his third goal of the season for City following Omar Marmoush’s neat pass inside the penalty area, with Brighton managing just one shot and 0.04 expected goals before the break.
But Brighton’s second-half substitutes completely swung the game in their favour and goals from James Milner and Brajan Gruda completed a staggering turnaround, with City entering the September international break off the back of a shock defeat.
Here are three takeaways from the clash on the south coast.
