Pep Guardiola has now suffered four consecutive defeats across all competitions for the first time in his managerial career.
This unusual streak for the renowned manager came after Manchester City’s 2-1 loss at the hands of Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.
The series of losses began with a surprising defeat in the EFL Cup against Tottenham at the end of October.
Following that, City faced setbacks against Bournemouth and Rúben Amorim’s Sporting CP.
Even after taking the lead at the Amex Stadium thanks to Erling Haaland’s goal in the 23rd minute, which marked his record-breaking 75th Premier League goal in only 77 appearances, the champions couldn’t maintain their advantage.
Brighton came out strongly after the break and leveled the score in the 78th minute when João Pedro capitalized on a defensive mishap to bundle the ball over the line.
In the 83rd minute, Brighton took the lead when Matt O’Riley, making his Premier League debut after a lengthy injury, finished off a deft pass from João Pedro to put the Seagulls ahead.
City mounted late pressure but couldn’t find an equalizer, leaving them to suffer another defeat.
This loss means City have now dropped points in four consecutive matches, with their last defeat in the Premier League from a leading position coming over three years ago.
The result opens the door for Liverpool to extend their lead at the top of the table, with the Reds set to play later today.
