Brighton & Hove Albion boss Fabian Hurzeler has heaped praise on his side's "important" 2-1 comeback victory over Manchester City in the Premier League, but he does not believe it is the biggest win of his managerial career. At the age of just 31 - the youngest manager in Premier League history - Hurzeler has made an impressive start to life as Brighton boss since securing Bundesliga promotion with former club St Pauli last season, with his new Seagulls side collecting 19 points from their opening 11 league matches. Brighton had already beaten Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, and also picked up a point at Arsenal, under the tutelage of Hurzeler this term before claiming another high-profile scalp over reigning champions Man City, condemning them to a fourth straight loss .

Erling Haaland scored the game's opening goal - his record-breaking 75th in Premier League - midway through the first half and Brighton were trailing by a solitary goal heading into the final 12 minutes. However, Hurzeler called upon Joao Pedro and Matt O'Riley - who both recovered from injury to make the matchday squad - to provide the goods off the substitutes' bench, with both players scoring in the space of just five second-half minutes to turn the contest on its head in dramatic fashion. Victory for Brighton represents just their second in the Premier League against Man City and they have climbed above both Arsenal and Chelsea into fourth place in the table , just four points .
