Brighton & Hove Albion turned Premier League heads this weekend with a jaw-dropping 2-1 comeback against Manchester City at Falmer Stadium! 🏟️ Erling Haaland’s 23rd-minute opener wasn’t enough as second-half substitutes João Pedro and debut star Matt O’Riley flipped the script, handing Pep Guardiola’s squad their first four-game losing streak in all competitions since 2006. 😮
City’s recent slump – including a brutal 4-1 Champions League defeat to Sporting CP – has fans wondering: Is this a blip or a crisis? 🤔 Injuries to key players like Jack Grealish and Ruben Dias left the champions scrambling, while Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Aston Villa widened the league gap to 5 points. 📉
Guardiola kept calm post-match, telling reporters: 'We need players back fit. Our past success came from fewer injuries.' ⚕️💪 With an international break ahead, City’s stars now face a race against time to regroup. Can they bounce back? Stay tuned. 🔄🔥
