布莱顿继续崛起，曼城遭遇连败

曼城在阿提哈德球场以 1-0 不敌布莱顿队，在恩佐·马雷斯卡的带领下首次遭遇英超联赛背靠背失利。

结果是在输给阿斯顿维拉一周后得出的。 City had previously not suffered consecutive league beatings since August 2025.

四天前，布莱顿在卡拉宝杯点球大战中被淘汰出局，上半场表现出色，亚辛·阿亚里的进球在马修斯·努涅斯的解围搞砸后成为制胜球。

但他们也必须在第二节中经受住曼城的进攻，将风格与钢铁和韧性相匹配。马雷斯卡的球队全力以赴寻求突破，伊利曼·恩迪亚耶击中横梁，埃尔林·哈兰德开出角球，努涅斯从忙碌的巴特·维尔布鲁根手中做出了精彩扑救。

The goalkeeper proved immovable, making seven saves in total.

当尼科·奥莱利的头球攻门稍稍偏出时，马雷斯卡再次用手捂住了头，曼城一次又一次地浪费了机会，在整体上创造了客队的机会，但却无法让任何东西保持住。

Brighton's players milked their celebrations with the away end.他们应得的。这种上升值得掌声和关注。

他们在争夺冠军吗？ It's perhaps too early to tell, but by my estimation Fabian Hurzeler has a team with superb harmony, who play with complete tactical clarity.这极大地增加了他们做一些特别的事情的机会。

恩佐·马雷斯卡声称自己很清楚布莱顿将提供什么，四天前刚刚接待了他们，但他无法制定一个计划来阻止他们的流动。曼城在中场和整体上都处于劣势。

If this was a tangible test of Brighton's stomach for the race, they passed with flying colours.

布莱顿在过去六场英超比赛中赢了五场，五场胜利均保持不失球。 They have the most clean sheets (6) in the competition this season.

11：目标！由于阿亚里从努涅斯超越多纳鲁马的错误中受益，曼城被拉开。

22：巨大的机会！ Anderson stands up a lovely ball into the six-yard box but Ndiaye glances his header wide.

34：机会！ Donnarumma denies Gomez from a tight angle as Brighton push for a second.

48：小姐！德库珀接到戈麦斯的传中后击中横梁，浪费了将布莱顿领先优势扩大一倍的绝佳机会。

52：木制品！ Ndiaye rattles the crossbar with a fierce strike.

62：保存！随着曼城压力的增加，维尔布鲁根从努涅斯手中扑救。

88：机会！ Rutter leads a one-man counter-attack and feeds Hinshelwood but the substitute dinks wide.

89：机会！ O'Reilly miscues his header as City's missed chances continue to mount.

90+4：保存！ Doku skips past his man and is again denied by a wonderful performance from Verbruggen.

"We created enough to get some points but we didn't score. We did enough to deserve something. In this moment we need to move on.

“有时会发生[错误]。不幸的是，这种情况正在发生在我们的球员身上。我们需要分析并了解我们可以做得更好的地方。我们正在承认愚蠢的目标；我们可以避免这种情况。

“当然，我们并不高兴。当我们输掉一场比赛时，没有人会高兴。我们知道我们不会赢得所有比赛，这些时刻到来了，所以我们必须尽快继续前进。”

"We expected a game where we had to suffer, facing one of the best teams in the world.

"We had to stick together and we had this feeling that defence wins today.防守会为你赢得紧张的比赛。我们有防守心态。

"We faced a lot of adversity during the game and really proud of how my players kept a clean sheet with quality and a bit of luck."
