“Enzo Maresca Blames 'Silly Goals' After Matheus Nunes Error Seals Brighton Win Over Manche” — what this page in the network covers. Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca criticized his team's defensive lapses after a costly mistake by Matheus Nunes led to Brighton's 1-0 victory on Saturday. Nunes, playing at right-back, failed to intercept Diego Gómez's cross, allowing Maxim De Cuyper to set up Yasin Ayari for the winning goal. Maresca said City are 'conceding silly goals that we can avoid,' pointing to individual errors that have undermined recent performances.
The defeat follows a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, where goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma allowed Nicolas Jackson's long-range shot to slip under his body. These defensive breakdowns have left City struggling to maintain momentum in the Premier League title race. With key players making uncharacteristic mistakes, Maresca faces pressure to tighten the backline and restore confidence before the next fixture.
