Premier League: Manchester City victim of revenge

Manchester City suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Brighton in the Premier League, just three days after beating them in the EFL Cup. Yasin Ayari scored the decisive goal for Brighton in the eleventh minute at the Etihad Stadium. Despite attempts from Ayyoub Bouaddi and second-half substitute Rayan Cherki, City could not find an equalizer.

The loss marks Manchester City's second consecutive league defeat following a prior setback against Aston Villa. Brighton moved provisionally into third place with the win. Elsewhere, Bournemouth defeated Leeds 2-0, Brentford beat Nottingham Forest 2-0, Coventry topped Sunderland 3-1, Hull City drew 2-2 with Ipswich, and Chelsea beat Manchester United 2-0.
