City looked poised to end their ugly run after Erling Haaland scored in the 23rd minute when Mateo Kovacic threaded a long pass between Brighton's two centre backs, and the Norwegian striker booted in his own rebound.
Brighton improved after the break and Pedro drew the hosts level in the 78th minute when City could not clear the ball and the Brazilian pounced to lash it past Ederson. O'Riley secured the well-earned victory five minutes later when he latched onto Pedro's through ball and slotted home.
