Manchester City suffered their second defeat from their opening three Premier League games after collapsing to a late 2-1 loss at Brighton.
City were beaten 2-0 at home by Tottenham last weekend and unravelled in the second half on the south coast after Erling Haaland had continued his remarkable scoring record by netting his 88th goal on his 100th league appearance.
Pep Guardiola’s side had been cruising until a quadruple substitution just after the hour mark by Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler turned the game in their favour.

James Milner, 39, tucked a penalty into the bottom left corner against his former club after Matheus Nunes had been penalised for handball when Lewis Dunk’s volley struck his left arm.
James Trafford retained his place in the Man City goal after his error last weekend and his saves from Yankuba Minteh and Jan Paul van Hecke kept them in the game until the 89th minute.
Kaoru Mitoma played through substitute Brajan Gruda and he kept his cool to sit down defender Rayan Ait Nouri and round Trafford to tap in the winner.
