From the source

City suffered a third defeat in six matches on Saturday, with a narrow loss to Brighton and Hove Albion seeing them slip to second place in the Premier League.

The visitors needed just 11 minutes to find the net, capitalising on another lapse in concentration from Manchester City's defence to allow Yasin Ayari to fire home from close range.

The opener came after the first of three handball appeals from the hosts, with referee Craig Pawson waving away all three, much to the frustration of City players and supporters alike.
