Brighton Stuns Manchester City, West Ham Beats Nottingham Forest

Manchester City suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat to Brighton, extending their early-season struggles in the Premier League with just one win in three matches. Erling Haaland marked his 100th Premier League appearance with his 88th goal, giving City an early lead, but Brighton rallied in the second half with a penalty from James Milner—who became the second-oldest scorer in Premier League history—and a late goal from Brajan Gruda sealing the victory. City’s inability to capitalize on chances and maintain momentum raised concerns about their sharpness and finishing, while Brighton secured their first league win of the season with a resilient performance. Meanwhile, West Ham eased pressure on manager Graham Potter by winning 3-0 at Nottingham Forest, with all goals scored after the 80th minute, providing a much-needed boost after their poor start and recent cup exit. These results highlight the challenging start to the season for top teams like Manchester City and the positive turnaround for clubs like Brighton and West Ham.
