Pep Guardiola makes unwanted history after defeat vs Brighton

Jacob Entwistle

Fabian Hurzeler’s side produced an almighty late comeback

Pep Guardiola has broken one of his own records following a late defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion.

With his Manchester City side looking in command at half-time courtesy of Erling Haaland’s goal, Brighton turned things around late on through substitutes Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley.

The away side now remain second in the table behind Arne Slot’s Liverpool, whilst Hurzeler’s Seagulls fly into fourth.

And Guardiola has made unwanted history following the loss – he has lost four games in a row at City for the first time ever.

With fixtures being unfortunate to City, they have now played four consecutive games away from home – and have lost them all.

The first defeat crashed City out of the cup, courtesy of Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur.

Then Bournemouth were the next side to taste victory over Guardiola’s side as they defeat them 2-1.

Ruben Amorim’s Sporting CP put on a spectacular showing to come from behind in midweek, largely thanks to a hat-trick from red hot Viktor Gyokeres.

Today, Brighton sealed the deal to make it four.
