Marmoush Gets 8, Trafford With 7.5 | Manchester City Players Rated In Poor Loss Vs Brighton | OneFootball

Manchester City faced off against Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Mancunian giants made a bright start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 34th minute when Erling Haaland scored from close range. Pep Guardiola’s men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.

James Milner came off the bench and equalised for Brighton in the 67th minute. Brajan Gruda completed the turnaround late in the game as Man City crashed to a poor 2-1 loss away from home.
