Manchester City Lose to Brighton as Premier League Title Race Tightens
Manchester City suffered a second consecutive Premier League defeat, losing 1-0 at home to Brighton, who secured their first away win against City after 18 attempts. Despite creating numerous chances, City failed to score, with Brighton's Yasin Ayari netting the decisive goal early. Manager Enzo Maresca acknowledged the setback but emphasized moving forward. The loss allows Arsenal to potentially overtake City at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Manchester United continued their poor run with a defeat at Chelsea, marking their longest winless streak in 38 years. City's financial rule breach verdict and appeal add uncertainty to their season.
