Hello everyone! I am KTO Sports.
In the early morning of October 24, Beijing time, the 9th round of the 2021/22 Premier League began, with Brighton at home facing the championship-winning Manchester City. Brighton have become the dark horse of the Premier League with 8 wins, 4 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss and 15 points this season, and Brighton's battle against Manchester City is a good time to test their dark horse.
In the first half, only in the 6th minute, Canselo's long-range shot from outside the line of the penalty area was successfully blocked by the opposing goalkeeper flying into the bottom line. In the following 4 minutes, Jesus broke through the right bottom line and attacked from a small angle, and was successfully released by the opposing defender player's barb on the goal line, and Brighton escaped a goal. In the 12th minute, Bernardo Silva's barb pass from the penalty area was scored by Gundogan in front of goal, and Manchester City made it 1-0 brighton.
In the 17th minute, Trussard turned around in the middle of the penalty area and fired a powerful shot into the stands. In the 21st minute, Kyle Walker stepped on the ball and the referee gave a yellow card. In the 27th minute, City scored another goal on a counter-attack, Gralis crossed the left side of the penalty area, and Foden wrapped up the shovel to win the empty goal, Manchester City 2-0.
In the 30th minute, Glaliche's shot from a tight angle was blocked and Jesus followed up with a shot that hit Foden's body and refracted the net. In the 42nd minute, a long-range shot from the edge of the Mahi penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper, the only time Brighton had fired on target in the first half. At half-time, City temporarily led Brighton 3-0.
In the 46th minute, Canselo's low shot into the far corner was deflected wide by the defender in the edge of the penalty area. In the 60th minute, Trussard's goal from a tight angle on the left side of the penalty area was saved by the opposing goalkeeper. In the 79th minute, Ederson saved Mwepp to get a penalty and Alexis McAllister took the lead to help Brighton pull back a city. In the 94th minute, Brighton made a mistake at the back, and Foden was pushed by a three-man bag to Majeres to break the goal, locking in the game's victory.
In the final match, Manchester City beat Brighton 4-1 to bring the Premier League dark horse back to its original shape.
This match was Pep Guardiola's 100th Premier League away game as Manchester City's manager, and Manchester City played very well in the first half of this game, becoming the most shots in the history of Manchester City, and the only Premier League team this season to concede zero goals in the first half.
Guardiola has not yet won a Champions League after leaving Barca. Today, this season is a very severe test for Guardiola, not only to bear the pressure from the Powerful Teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and other powerful teams in the Premier League, but also to bear the pressure from the Champions League, manchester City is unlikely to win the title easily.
