Brighton Battle Back to Beat Man City as Veteran James Milner Rolls Back the Years

James Milner became the second oldest Premier League scorer with a penalty, and Brajan Gruda netted a late winner to secure Brighton's first win this season.

  • On Sunday, August 31, 2025, Brighton beat Manchester City 2-1 at the AMEX Stadium in a Premier League match.
  • Erling Haaland put Manchester City ahead after reacting quickest to a loose ball at 34 minutes, but a Matheus Nunes handball allowed James Milner to equalise with a penalty.
  • Late in normal time, Brajan Gruda secured the winner by rounding James Trafford, while Manchester City had zero shots on target in the second half compared to Brighton's six.
  • After back-to-back defeats, Manchester City face mounting early-season pressure, holding just three points from their opening three games in the 2025-26 Premier League season.
  • The result reinforces Brighton's growing reputation against Manchester City, though only one team has lost two of their first three games and still won the Premier League title.
