Brighton 2 Manchester City 1: Creaky defence, Guardiola’s worst run, is title slipping?

New York Times  

Brighton & Hove Albion stunned Manchester City to move fourth in the Premier League after a comeback win at the Amex Stadium. Erling Haaland put Pep Guardiola’s side ahead in the first and it looked like the champions would arrest their three-game losing streak. Creaking defence One of the things about City’s treble-winning team — possibly the biggest thing — was that when the defence were caught out, they could rely on their back four to bail them out with some reliable one-against-one defending. 1 – Pep Guardiola has lost four games in a row in all competitions for the very first time in his managerial career, while Manchester City have lost four straight games for the first time since August 2006, when Stuart Pearce was manager of the club. I’m pretty sure when the players come back and we can make some individual qualities on the team we’ll be back.” What next for Manchester City?
