Brighton & Hove Albion beat Manchester City 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday, earning their first away win over City in any competition at the Etihad Stadium. Yasin Ayari scored in the 11th minute after a sequence that began with a disputed free kick, and Brighton protected the lead through sustained pressure from the hosts. Bart Verbruggen made seven saves as Brighton kept a clean sheet for the fifth time in six league games. City, who also lost at Aston Villa last week, failed to score at home in the league for the first time in 23 matches despite creating a series of chances for Iliman Ndiaye, Matheus Nunes and Erling Haaland.
