I was quite surprised that Brighton managed to win 2-1 against Man City. Man City's statistics were much better, but the result was the opposite. But looking at the chances, Brighton had more shots on goal. This means that Brighton played more effectively. They were able to cause Man City difficulties. Actually, Brighton is a good team. They have been looking good since last season.
Brighton started the season poorly. They only managed a draw in their first match against Fulham and then lost their second match to Everton. But Brighton seemed to have truly corrected their mistakes by winning their third match against a very strong team, and I was actually quite surprised by the result. Manchester City was almost everyone's favorite in that match. But the result showed that Brighton were able to play more effectively and break down the Manchester City defense with their effective play. It seems there will be more match results that might be beyond our predictions. But seeing Manchester City lose this match really made me realize that this season will indeed be more competitive than usual.
Manchester City's next match will be against Manchester United. Initially, I was confident Manchester City would be able to win. But after seeing Manchester City's defeat to Brighton, I began to hesitate in betting on them.
