Yes, it is definitely a disappointing result for Manchester City. Failing to hold onto their lead twice at home and allowing Brighton to come back into the game is a poor performance. Even in their inconsistent state I still expected them to secure all three points. Many bettors would have lost their wagers as City were widely expected to win. Dropping points in such games could hinder them from making a top four finish.

I think you are viewing Brighton in a different Direction, I will say you are getting it all wrong because no matter how popular the team is if there is no consistency they can face any defeat by any team no matter their class if they can prove themselves to be the best they can secure victory. I wasn't shocked about Manchester City's draw against Brighton because Brighton have maintained a very good performance in their last five matches by winning it all while Manchester City only secured two wins and three losses. I really don't understand Man City again immediately they try to show they are on a good track then you will receive the biggest surprise from them. Brighton are not consider as a bottom team compared to Manchester City because they are just two step ahead of Brighton.

I know that Manchester City was not in good form, and with that, it’s clear that anything can happen between their match against Brighton. As for me, a draw was what I even thought before the match started, and as they finished the match and it ended in a draw, I was not that surprised. In fact, even if Brighton had won the game, I would not have been surprised because I know, based on my analysis, that both Manchester City and Brighton had good chances of winning the game. I did not pick any team as the favorite to win the match because I knew Manchester City was not in form and Brighton was a little better in form based on their few matches played recently. I know the reason why some people chose Manchester City as the favorite team: one, because Manchester was the host of the game, and two, because of their head-to-head record. However, it was clear that sometimes a team’s current performance should be used to judge the team, not only past records.
