The defending champions Manchester City returned to the victories by winning on Saturday 3-1 over his guest, Brighton, thanks to the Norwegian striker Erling Halland, in the 13th stage of the English Premier League.
And the “City” suffered its first setback of the season in a variety of tournaments in the closing stages against Liverpool, losing 0-1 on Mohamed Salah’s goal.
But he soon got back to winning, narrowing the gap with league leader Arsenal to one point while knowing that the latter might make up the four points when he played Southampton tomorrow, Sunday.
In Brighton’s meeting, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola made a few adjustments to the team that started against Liverpool. Instead of the season’s best player, Phil Voden, and German Elkay Gundogan, who entered the second half, Spanish Emerick Laport returned to the defence in place of the Dutchman Nathan okay.
Halland opened the scoring when he received a wonderful long ball from the Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson to the outskirts of the region, and he benefited from the wrong exit of Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sanchez from his area and won the physical battle against defender Adam and Webster to live in the net from inside the area in the 22nd minute.
After returning to the assistant video “Far,” Halland quadrupled his team following a penalty kick by Portuguese player Bernardo Silva.
Leandro Transherr, who has been outstanding this season, cut the deficit in half in the 53rd minute with a beautiful missile shot from outside the area.
The third goal was scored by Belgian Kevin de Bruyne for Manchester City in the 75th minute with an incredible strike from outside the box that found the upper left corner.
