Brighton & Hove Albion secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Manchester City at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, marking their first win in the Premier League this season. The match, which was a crucial one for both teams, saw City initially take the lead, but Brighton rallied back with determination to snatch all three points.
Erling Haaland put Manchester City ahead in the 33rd minute, scoring with his trademark precision to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. However, Brighton was far from discouraged, and their persistence paid off in the second half. James Milner equalised for the Seagulls with a 67th-minute penalty, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
As the game appeared to be heading for a draw, Brighton’s substitute, Brajan Gruda, delivered the decisive blow in the 89th minute. His goal secured a dramatic comeback victory for Brighton, much to the delight of their fans. This win was crucial for Brighton, ending a tough run that included a draw and a defeat in their opening two matches.
With this victory, Brighton moves up to 10th place in the Premier League standings, now with four points from three matches. The win also provides a much-needed boost in morale for the team, and they will be looking to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
On the other hand, Manchester City’s woes continued, as this loss followed their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham the previous week. The defending champions now find themselves in 12th place with just three points from three games. Despite being early in the season, the pressure is mounting on City manager Pep Guardiola to quickly turn things around.
