The old cliché of a two-goal attack summed up Brighton’s day at the Etihad Stadium.
In the first half, Roberto de Zerbi’s side struggled against a dominant Manchester City, who temporarily took the lead through Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland.
Brighton have struggled defensively this season, conceding more goals than any team outside the relegation zone.
But they also recorded the second-highest overall goal in the league and the second quarter proved it.
Ansu Fati took advantage of a mistake by Manuel Akanji before the Seagulls had several chances to equalize, creating an eventful final half.
A serious injury to Solly March has put an unfortunate end to Brighton’s day in Manchester and manager Roberto De Zerbi will have to find a way to combat the challenge of injuries with European football on the horizon.
