In-form Leandro Trossard's sixth goal of the season wasn't enough to stifle Manchester City and the irrepressible Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian striker slammed home his 16th and 17th Premier League goals of the campaign, before Albion's Belgian maestro gave his side a glimmer of hope with a low 20-yard drive which beat Citizens custodian Ederson at the near post.
Trossard's international teammate, Kevin De Bruyne, secured the points when he fired home a wonder goal from distance in the second half.
The result was harsh on the Seagulls, who gave a much-improved display following a drab 0-0 stalemate against Nottingham Forest at the Amex last time out.
It means new boss, Roberto De Zerbi, has failed to win any of his first five matches at the helm.
Brighton will look to return to winning ways against former boss Graham Potter on Saturday, when Chelsea come to the Amex.
Brighton star man: Leandro Trossard
The brilliant winger made it 6 goals in 11 top-flight appearances this season.
It's about time some of his teammates shared the goalscoring burden with him.
