Manchester City is currently on their worst losing streak in the Premier League since Pep Guardiola joined the club after another loss.
Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. beat the champions in a comeback win after City had gone ahead in the first half with an Erling Haaland goal.
In the second half, City lost their plot as goals from Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley overturned the result to give City their second loss in the league in a row.
The result leaves City 5 points behind Liverpool, who continue to prove to be great title challengers after another home win against Aston Villa.

Liverpool shock Aston Villa
In the final game of Saturday night, November 9, Liverpool showed their title contention was not just a fluke as they comfortably beat Aston Villa at home.
Despite Villa’s efforts to make it difficult for the Reds, a first-half goal from Nunez Dias and a second from Mohamed Salah in the final minutes of the game saw Liverpool take an incredible lead in the title race.
Salah, whose contract is up in the summer, showed why he is the man of the moment with a goal and assist in the game, taking his tally to 20 G/A for the season so far.

It was surprising that both Liverpool goals came from counterattacks after Aston Villa set pieces, something Unai Emery’s team was expected to handle better.
The defeat leaves Villa eighth, with their fixture list becoming more complex as they try to make a name for themselves in the Champions League.
Other results on Saturday, November 9, saw Brentford beat Bournemouth 3 goals to 2, with Crystal Palace losing at home with two goals against Fulham.
Westham was held to a draw by Everton at home, as Wolves finally left the last spot to Southampton after defeating them at home with two goals to none.
Arsenal and Manchester United take to the field today, Sunday, November 11. Both expect good results, but it could be a bit difficult for Arsenal as they head to Chelsea for the last match of game week 11.
