Manchester City blew a lead during a shock 1-2 defeat at Brighton that extended their troubled start to the English Premier League season. 

City striker Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the 34th minute to mark his 100th English Premier League appearance with his 88th goal in the competition since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022. But the 25-year-old’s third goal this season wasn’t enough to help Pep Guardiola’s side bounce back from last weekend’s 2-0 home defeat against Tottenham. 

James Milner’s second half penalty (67th min) hauled Brighton level before Brajan Gruda’s (89th min) late strike completed City’s collapse.
