Manchester City have suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in a competitive game since Pep Guardiola took over in 2016. Moreover this is the first such spell for Guardiola himself.
The Premier League title-holders lost to Brighton 2-1 despite ending the first half with a 1-0 lead courtesy of a long-awaited goal from Erling Haaland.
After the break Brighton turned the game around thanks to super-subs Joao Pedro and Matt O'Riley. The latter scored the match-winning goal in his first appearance in the Premier League.
As a result Man City risk drifting further away from the top of the Premier League table if Liverpool defeat Aston Villa later on Saturday. The Reds can increase their lead to five points.
