GUWAHATI, Nov 10: Premier league champions Manchester City suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in all competitions following their 1-2 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Although City took the lead with Erling Haaland scoring his 12th league goal — his first in five matches — late goals by Joao Pedro and Matt O’Riley stunned Pep Guardiola’s champions.
And with Liverpool winning 2-0 at home against Aston Villa, they — the current table-toppers — have now opened up a five-point gap at the top.
Liverpool head into the international break with 28 points from 11 games while City are second with 23. Brighton and Hove Albion moved up to fourth with 19 points.
