After dominating the first half, Man City lost control in the second half. Brighton improved their ball possession and created more chances. The turning point that helped the home team turn the situation around was the appearance of Joao Pedro - a player who had just recovered from injury.
More than 10 minutes after being put on the field, Pedro took advantage of the confusion of the Man City defenders to score the equalizer. Not long after, this striker assisted Matt O'Riley to put Brighton ahead.
Man City went all out in the final minutes of the match. However, in the entire second half, the away team only managed one shot on target. Kevin De Bruyne's return from injury could not help Man City improve the situation.
Man City could not score an equalizer, losing 1-2 in the end. Brighton won against this opponent for the first time after 15 matches.
