Brighton shocked Manchester City with a dramatic 2-1 comeback win on Sunday, piling early pressure on Pep Guardiola after back-to-back defeats left his side languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

City struck first through Erling Haaland on 32 minutes, the Norwegian finished clinically to put the visitors in early control.

But Brighton refused to fold and found their way back when veteran James Milner coolly dispatched a penalty midway through the second half following a clear handball.

Fabian Hürzeler’s substitutions then proved decisive. Youngster Brajan Gruda, introduced late on, became the hero in the 89th minute when he cut inside, skipped past City’s backline, and rifled the winner beyond James Trafford.
