Manchester City Faces Unprecedented Defeat Streak in Premier League
In a shocking turn of events, Manchester City has suffered its fourth consecutive defeat, marking the worst run under coach Pep Guardiola since he took the helm in 2016. The latest loss came against Brighton on Saturday, where City was unable to maintain their early lead, ultimately losing 2-1. This defeat follows a series of disappointing performances, including losses to Tottenham (2-1) in the League Cup, Bournemouth (2-1) in the Premier League, and a significant 4-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.
The match against Brighton saw Erling Haaland score first for City in the 23rd minute, marking his 75th goal in the English league. However, Brighton's Joao Pedro equalized in the 78th minute, and shortly after, Matt O'Riley secured the win with a goal in the 83rd minute. Under the management of Fabian Hürzeler, Brighton has climbed to fourth place in the Premier League standings, showcasing their resilience and tactical prowess.
Currently, Manchester City sits second in the league with 23 points, just behind Liverpool, who leads with 25 points. City now faces the pressure of needing a quick turnaround to avoid further decline, as they prepare for a challenging schedule ahead, including a match against Tottenham on November 23 and a crucial clash with Liverpool on December 1.
