Player Ratings:
James Trafford – 6.5 Brighton couldn’t put him under the kind of pressure which Spurs did to draw the error last week, giving him a comfortable enough afternoon with the ball at his feet. Repelled most of the hosts’ efforts to beat him, but can’t be blamed for being beaten by a penalty and one-on-one. Matheus Nunes – 4 Some good work to resist pressure down his side in the first-half was undone totally by the bizarre penalty he gave away. John Stones – 6 Totally unflustered in possession, despite being given the ball under some heavy pressure at times. Acted as more of the reserved member of his partnership with Khusanov. Abdukodir Khusanov – 6 Was always likely to be the more active of the two central defenders due to his combative nature, and certainly wasn’t shy to throw his weight around. Paid off more at times than others, but he didn’t give anything up. Rayan Ait-Nouri – 5 Couldn’t get things going in the final third like he can, but equally wasn’t troubled too often going the other way. Was booked and then beaten for Brighton’s winner. Rodri – 7 (POTM) By far the sharpest and like his old self he’s looked since recovering from his ACL injury. A midfield metronome with his passing range and dictating of play. Did tire a little towards the end. Bernardo Silva – 4.5 Often the man to lead the press and put a foot on the ball to calm things down. That didn’t translate to him having much of an influence on proceedings though, and he was hooked. Tijjani Reijnders – 5 Hasn’t quite been able to refind that spark he had against Wolves since the opening day. Got through a power of work but couldn’t create anything. Oscar Bobb – 6.5 Once again showcased his extremely tidy feet in close-quarter situations. Will need to start adding a bit more end product though. Erling Haaland – 6 Did eventually grab the opener from unmissable range, but ought to have put away at least one of his other openings. Omar Marmoush – 6 Similarly to last week, he started the game as City’s most lively threat in attack, but again couldn’t keep it up throughout. Faired better than against Spurs though, and did assist Haaland’s opener. Substitutes: Nico O’Reilly – 6 Some quick feet in the middle but the tide had already turned by the time he came on. Jeremy Doku – 5.5 Couldn’t make anything happen against tired legs. Rico Lewis – N/A Ruben Dias – N/A |

Trafford: Made two very good saves to keep Brighton out but couldn't stop the penalty. An outstanding effort to keep out the deflected Van Hecke effort at the end. 8 Nunes: Nearly caught out with sloppy play in the first half and his elbows were inexplicably high to give away the penalty. Worsened after it. 4 Khusanov: Played very well for a lot of the game, but it was a reckless tackle that earned him a yellow and led to the penalty. 6 Stones: Organised the defence well and is starting to glide again as he moves into midfield on a regular basis but fell apart with the team at the end. 6 Ait-Nouri: Made some excellent contributions going forward, including to win the ball back for Haaland's opener. A few moments where he was too loose though and he was booked. 6 Rodri: Looked rusty on his first start in 11 months - understandably! - but even as he works back to fitness his presence helped the team in the middle. 6 Silva: Put in plenty of useful work, although will be disappointed to have lost Dunk for the free-kick that brought the penalty. 6 Reijnders: Full of running, intelligent passing and clever passes in the final third. Unlucky that it didn't bring more. 7 Bobb: Had so much quality for everything but that final shot or pass in the box, troubling Brighton whenever he got on the ball. 7 Marmoush: A lovely ball through for Haaland should have brought a goal and his pace and touch got City out of a number of jams. 7 Haaland: Took his goal well but a player with his high standards could and probably should have had more. 6 Substitutes O'Reilly (for Silva, 72): Struggled to get the ball down. 5 Doku (for Marmoush, 72): Couldn't offer much as City rarely got the ball. 6 Lewis (for Nunes, 85): Couldn't stop the tide. 5 Dias (for Khusanov, 85): Couldn't stop the tide. 5 |

James Trafford (7/10): Didn't look like his confidence had been hit by last week's error as he showed comfort with the ball at his feet. Got down well to deny Mitoma early on before standing tall to keep out Minteh on the hour mark and performed heroics to claw away Van Hecke's header. Had no chance with either goal. Matheus Nunes (6/10): Continues to improve as a right-back as he kept Mitoma relatively quiet while using the ball well in possession. Slightly unfortunate to concede the penalty. John Stones (5/10): Played Mitoma onside for his early chance and looked a little slow at times. Not as effective in possession compared to a few years ago, and his failure to cut out a forward pass led to Brighton's winner. Abdukodir Khusanov (6/10): Perhaps his best performance in a City to shirt for the first 65 minutes as he carried the ball into midfield well and was aggressive when called on defensively. Booked shortly before the equaliser, and was targeted thereafter. Rayan Ait-Nouri (4/10): Gave the ball away in poor areas on a couple of occasions as he came out second-best on occasion up against Minteh. Booked in the second half. Rodri (8/10): Oozed class in everything he did at the heart of the City midfield. Still getting up to full fitness, but showed exactly what the team have been missing due to his injury absence. Bernardo Silva (6/10): Didn't offer much of note in possession, but showed good energy in midfield to win the ball back and pressure the opposition. Tijjani Reijnders (6/10): Struggled early on with the ferocity of Brighton's press but grew into the game as it wore on. Oscar Bobb (7/10): Caused panic whenever he got onto the ball and drove towards the Brighton penalty area. Played his part in the opening goal. Erling Haaland (6/10): Wasted two early openings before being denied by Verbruggen. Eventually got his goal with an expert close-range finish, but faded out of the game in the second half. Omar Marmoush (7/10): Showed excellent, quick feet inside the penalty area to lay on Haaland's opener, and looked dangerous when picking up the ball in the half-spaces. Replaced for the final 20 minutes. Subs & Manager Nico O'Reilly (5/10): On in midfield for the final 20 minutes but couldn't stop the waves of Brighton pressure. Jeremy Doku (5/10): Struggled to pose much of a threat after replacing Marmoush. Rico Lewis (N/A): On for Nunes in the final 10 minutes. Ruben Dias (N/A): Couldn't get across quickly enough to keep Brighton from sweeping through on their way to Gruda's winner. Pep Guardiola (5/10): His team looked like they were getting back to their best for an hour, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances and were made to pay. His failure to adapt after Hurzeler's inspired substitutions was concerning. |

James Trafford-8/10: Made several stunning saves in a good performance from Trafford. He showed his character to bounce back after last week’s performance. Matheus Nunes-5/10: Had a good game, then gave away the penalty that saw Brighton equalise for handball. Unfortunately for Nunes, his errors always seem to concede goals and turn games. Abdukodir Khusanov-7.5/10: A good performance from Khusanov. His pace and strength added a different attribute to Manchester City’s defence. Plenty to work with going forward for Pep Guardiola with the Uzbek international. John Stones-5.5/10: It was Stones rash clearance/ball that set Brighton free for their winner. He did well until that moment. Rayan Ait-Nouri-5.5/10: Like his team, Ait-Nouri was good for an hour. But in the games closing stages he ran out of legs. Yankuba Minteh gave him a torrid time, especially in the second half. Rodri-8/10: Alongside James Trafford was easily Manchester City’s best player on the day. But he did wilt late on as his legs faded. Rodri’s fitness will come in time but his performance was very good. Bernardo Silva-6.5/10: His workrate was superb before he was substituted. Wasn’t as good in possession but worked his socks off for his team. Oscar Bobb-6.5/10: He could have been the match winner but his end product was just off. He made several dangerous runs which showcased his prodigious talent. Tijjani Rejinders-6/10: Was good for an hour but faded out of the game as Brighton lifted. Omar Marmoush-7/10: A good performance from Marmoush. His runs into the box caused Brighton issues and he set up Haaland’s goal. Unlucky not to set up another goal for Oscar Bobb in the second half. Erling Haaland-6.5/10: Scored in his 100th Premier League performance. Could have scored more but his effort was there across the 90 minutes. Substitutes Jeremy Doku-5/10: Didn’t offer a lot after coming on. Nico O’Reilly-5/10: Looked overwhelmed in midfield when he came on. Ruben Dias-5/10: Came on for Khusanov and didn’t alter the game. Rico Lewis-6/10: Showed fight but came on to late to have an impact. |
