• James Milner equalised from the spot in the 67th minute to become the oldest Premier League penalty scorer at 39 years and 239 days, marking the goal with a tribute to Diogo Jota while wearing No. 20.
• Brajan Gruda decided the match late by beating the offside line and rounding goalkeeper James Trafford before finishing.
• The defeat made it consecutive league losses for City, who sit 12th on three points, while Brighton earned their first win to move 10th on four.
• Pep Guardiola said momentum shifted after the equaliser and cited ongoing adaptation for new faces, a view echoed by Rodri, with City next hosting Manchester United before visiting Arsenal after the international break.
