Ayari hands City BACK-TO-BACK losses! | Manchester City 0-1 Brighton | Premier League Highlights

Yasin Ayari's finish opens the highlights, but Brighton's goalkeeper has plenty to do before the final whistle. Sky Sports Premier League's compact edit of the away win at Manchester City has passed half a million views in eleven hours, an unusually quick start for its short highlights.

City had gone into the match with the chance to move three points clear at the top. Instead, a low delivery following a Brighton free kick finds Ayari, whose goal proves enough to hand the hosts successive defeats.

The rest of the package shows how much that narrow advantage demands of Bart Verbruggen. He dives to protect his near post, then denies Matheus Nunes from close range. Erling Haaland sends the rebound wide. Brighton also threaten on the counter, with Jack Hinshelwood shooting into the side netting before City's final opportunity falls to Nico O'Reilly.

Verbruggen's contribution is a recurring subject in the comments, alongside discussion of Brighton's prospects of European qualification. But one prominent request concerns the edit itself: viewers want a fixed match clock restored, so they can place each chance within the game.

Sky's Chelsea win over Manchester United and Tottenham victory over Crystal Palace highlights are also drawing unusually brisk viewing. Here, though, a single Brighton goal and a succession of City misses supply the whole story.
