Brighton Stuns Manchester City with 1-0 Victory
Brighton & Hove Albion defeated Manchester City 1-0 in a Premier League match, with Yasin Ayari scoring the decisive goal in the 11th minute. The Cityzens squandered multiple chances to equalize, marking their second defeat of the season and their first loss at home.
Enzo Maresca's side struggled to control the match early on, allowing Brighton to capitalize on a quickly taken free kick that led to Ayari's goal from six yards. Despite creating opportunities, Manchester City could not convert, with Iliman Ndiaye being denied twice by Brighton's goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, who also made excellent saves against Erling Haaland and Kushanov.
This victory allowed Brighton to claim their sixth win of the season, placing them in third position with 19 points, just two points behind Manchester City, who remain joint-top with Arsenal but have played one game more. In a separate match, Taiwo Awoniyi scored his first goal of the EPL season in Coventry City’s 3-1 win over Sunderland.
