Second loss in a row for City: Guardiola's team revives its crisis

Manchester City fell again for the second consecutive game. On August 23, they could not win at home against Tottenham (0-2) and this Sunday they lost against Brighton, after having an advantage on the scoreboard (2-1).

The team of Pep Guardiola started winning thanks to a goal by Erling Haaland in the 34th minute, with an assist from Omar Marmoush.

For the second half, Brighton prevailed on the scoreboard. In the 67th minute, the locals equalized thanks to a penalty by James Milner. And when the game was about to end, Brajan Gruda appeared to make it 2-1.

The Mancunian team has only been able to add 3 points out of a possible 9, thanks to a thrashing of Wolverhampton at Molineux (0-4).

Haaland reaches 100 games with City in the Premier League

For Erling Haaland, the match played this Sunday at the Amex Stadium was very special, as he was able to play his 100th match in the Premier League since his arrival in 2022.

The Norwegian striker scored the only goal for his team in the match. However, he could not prevent Manchester City's defeat.

In 100 appearances in the English league, the Leeds native has scored 88 goals with the 'citizens'. That represents an average of 0.88 goals per game. An outstanding number for any striker.

Rodri was a starter with City after 343 days

For the match against Brighton, Guardiola gave Rodri the opportunity to be a starter again. 343 days passed before the Ballon d'Or returned to start as a starter in a match in English football.

It should be remembered that the Spanish midfielder suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and damage to the meniscus, in a match against Arsenal, on September 22 of last year.

The return of Rodrigo Hernández to the starting lineup is good news for Pep, as he organizes his team from behind, something that other players do not give him.
