From the source

The shades of dark green that coloured Brighton & Hove Albion's two visits to the Etihad Stadium last week have dampened Manchester City's dazzling start to their domestic campaign, as Enzo Maresca finds himself in the midst of his first rough patch as Blues boss.

After forcing Manchester City to a penalty shootout win following a 2-2 draw last Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup fourth round, the Seagulls ran out 0-1 victors on Manchester soil in the weekend's repeat fixture as an act of revenge.

Yasin Ayari took his golden chance just 11 minutes in as Maxim De Cuyper's sweep back across the face of the goal from a Matheus Nunes error was enough to bamboozle Gianluigi Donnarumma in the sticks, before the Swede gratefully accepted an open net.
