Pep Guardiola concedes Premier League title after losing to Brighton | Football News

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has conceded the Premier League title after Brighton & Hove Albion stunned the reigning champions with a 2-1 victory. This loss marks Manchester City’s fourth consecutive defeat, their worst run since 2006. It’s also the first time Guardiola has experienced a four-game losing streak in his managerial career. City’s losing streak began with a League Cup defeat at Tottenham last week, followed by a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth — their first league defeat in 11 months — and a 4-1 thrashing by Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. “Maybe after seven years winning six Premier Leagues, maybe one year another team deserves it,” Guardiola told BBC Sport. “We are not able to play a complete 90 minutes right now,” he told BBC Match of the Day. “We played a really good first half and had moments in the second half.

Manchester City vs Brighton 4-0: With big win, Pep Guardiola puts Arsenal on notice | Football News

Ahead of the English Premier League match against Brighton, Manchester City found themselves in an enviable position. Their closest rivals, Arsenal and Liverpool have done what they could and the EPL table is reflecting that reality. While Arsenal are on top of the table, Liverpool are in second with Manchester City third. However, there is a proviso – City had played 2 matches less than either of these teams till today. Now, all the manager Pep Guardiola-led side had to do was to win its next two matches to stay relevant in the League for the trophy. Both rivals Arsenal and Liverpool have had contrasting fortunes. While the Gunners beat Chelsea 5-0, Liverpool actually managed to lose to Everton 0-2. For Liverpool, the title race may be over unless either Arsenal or City implode. City, if they win both their EPL games, will be sitting pretty on 79 points and Arsenal are currently on 77. Clearly, this is City’s trophy to lose, if they are of that bent of mind.
