EPL: Brighton cage Manchester City

Brighton & Hove Albion fought back twice to draw 2-2 at Manchester City as the two clubs continue to battle for UEFA Champions League qualification.

Pep Guardiola’s hosts knew a victory would take them above fourth-placed Chelsea, while Brighton had the chance to leapfrog Man City, but both sides had to settle for a point.

Erling Haaland converted from the penalty spot and Omar Marmoush scored with a 20-yard drive either side of Pervis Estupinan’s wonderful free-kick.

However, Abdukodir Khusanov’s own goal made it 2-2 early in the second half and Brighton missed a big chance to score a late winner.

Brighton remain seventh in the table, one point behind Man City, who stay fifth.
