Pep Guardiola sets unwanted record

Guardiola's Man City were aiming to bounce back following a 4-1 loss to Sporting CP in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Things started well for the reigning champions, and it looked like they would get maximum points. Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the first half, but they were unable to add to it.

Brighton's second-half onslaught saw Joao Pedro and Matt O'Riley score to condemn Man City to another painful defeat.

They have now lost four games in a row. It is the first time Guardiola has lost four successive games in his career, per Opta Joe.

Man City have lost the last two Premier League matches and could be five points behind if Liverpool beat Aston Villa.

"Normally people lose games. Always a first time in your life," he said. "This is my challenge, our challenge. I like to face it. I will not step back at all, less than ever. More than ever I want to do it and we will try again," Guardiola said per Manchester Evening News.
