Manchester City's Title Hopes Fade Amid Unprecedented Losing Streak

Brighton & Hove Albion defeated Manchester City 2-1, marking City's fourth consecutive loss and raising concerns about their title defense. Despite Erling Haaland's early goal, Brighton's comeback with goals from Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley highlighted City's defensive vulnerabilities. This loss leaves City two points behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand. Guardiola's team is struggling with injuries and form, reminiscent of his challenging first season. With key players like Kevin De Bruyne returning, City hopes to recover post-international break, but upcoming matches against Tottenham and Liverpool pose significant challenges.
