Brighton 2 Man City 1: Sensational Seagulls snatch second-half comeback win to send Guardiola & Co into bottom half

Manchester City lost 2-1 to Brighton on August 31, 2025, at the Amex Stadium, suffering their second consecutive league defeat.
The defeat followed a strong first half where Erling Haaland scored, but City faltered after Brighton's penalty and late winner caused them to lose focus.
Just after the 60-minute mark, Brighton's manager Fabian Hurzeler introduced four changes to the lineup, bringing on James Milner and Brajan Gruda, who went on to score the penalty and the decisive goal, respectively.
Pep Guardiola said, "We were thinking of the consequences," and admitted, "We forgot to play," while Rodri criticized the team's error-strewn performance as collective mistakes.
The loss left City well off the top, but Guardiola emphasized it was "just the beginning of the season" with "a long season ahead" and hopes to improve after the international break.
