Pep Guardiola conceded that the Premier League may already be out of Manchester City’s reach after he fell to a fourth consecutive defeat for the first time in his managerial career and Liverpool capitalised by going five points clear at the top.
‘Maybe after seven years winning six Premier Leagues, maybe one year another team deserves it,’ said Guardiola after City’s defeat at Brighton.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side came from behind to win with Joao Pedro cancelling out Erling Haaland’s opener before Matt O’Riley scored the winner on his Premier League debut.
