City has suffered its second consecutive defeat at Premier League, after being beaten home by 1:0.
The loss at the Etidhad Stadium has disappointed coach Maresca, who has criticised the way his team is accepting goals.
The only goal of the match was marked by Yassin Ayari at the 11th minute, after a wrong escape from the ball from City defender Matthew Nunes.
Despite numerous efforts to match the outcome, locals have failed to find their way to the goal, while Brighton’s goalkeeper Bart Verberugen has had a very good showing.
This is the second consecutive defeat for Manchester City, after that 2:1 by Aston Villa a week ago, which ended the team’s winning series in the championship.
It’s a feeling very similar to what we had after the match against Aston Willas. Unfortunately, we’ve created enough cases to take points, but we haven’t scored, Maresca said.
The Italian coach has stressed that his team is scoring goals, but is making unnecessary defense mistakes.
We’re the second team in the number of goals scored at Premier League, which means we’re writing. But we are accepting easy goals, which we can avoid. We hope they don’t repeat the next match, he added.
On the other hand, Brighton coach Fabian Hurzeler has tried to keep his team on the ground despite significant victories.
Brighton, who has defeated Arsenal this season, has won first as a guest of Manchester City and has approached only two points from the head of the table.
The loss of City has enabled Arsenal to take first position if it manages to avoid defeat in the face of Liverpool.
