Impressive! O’Reily Scores Winning Goal Against Manchester City on Premier League Debut
Brighton pulled off an unexpected victory over Manchester City in the 11th round of the Premier League, as the Citizens suffered their fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions (1-2).
The winning goal came from Brighton's Matt O’Reily, who marked his Premier League debut in style by scoring against the prestigious opponents.
O’Reilly became the first player to net a goal against Manchester City in their debut Premier League match since Steven Bergwijn for Tottenham Hotspur in February 2020.
The 23-year-old Danish midfielder joined Brighton at the end of August from Celtic and had previously only featured in the EFL Cup.
In a notable twist, Pep Guardiola suffered his first-ever four-match losing streak across all competitions as a manager.
Prior to this, Manchester City had fallen to Tottenham (1-2) in the EFL Cup, Bournemouth (1-2) in the Premier League, and Sporting CP (1-4) in the Champions League.
