Guardiola pessimistic about Man City title chances after Brighton defeat


Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has downplayed the chances of winning another English Premier League title this season after defeat at Brighton.

Guardiola, who admitted that the Premier League title may have already slipped from them, said it might be time for another team to win the title.

Guardiola suffered a fourth consecutive defeat for the first time in his managerial career, after City lost 2-1 at Brighton.

Fabian Hurzeler’s side came from behind to take all three points.

Joao Pedro cancelled out Erling Haaland’s opener, before Matt O’Riley scored the winner on his Premier League debut.

Liverpool then beat Aston Villa 2-0 to go five points clear at the top of the table.

“Maybe after seven years winning six Premier Leagues, maybe one year another team deserves it,” Guardiola told reporters after the game
