Manchester City finally snapped their two-match losing streak in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Brighton on Saturday.
City have never recorded three consecutive losses in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola, and it remained that way after a strong start against Brighton.
Julian Alvarez opened the scoring with a fine strike in the seventh minute before Erling Haaland doubled City's advantage in the 19th minute.
The Norwegian striker pounced on a mistake by Carlos Baleba, sending his left-footed attempt into the back of the net, per the BBC.
