Man City Held To 2-2 Home Draw By Brighton

Manchester City could only muster a 2-2 Premier League draw with Brighton Hove Albion on Saturday, dropping points in a blow to their hopes of playing European football next season.

Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush struck for Pep Guardiolas men, but Brighton equalised with a second-half own goal by City defender Abdukodir Khusanov after Pervis Estupinan had scored the visitors first.

The draw kept champions City provisionally fifth in the Premier League table on 48 points after 29 games. Brighton are a point behind in seventh.

Haaland struck from the penalty spot in the 11th minute after Marmoush was brought down by Adam Webster.

Estupinan levelled 10 minutes later when he caught goalkeeper Stefan Ortega flat-footed with a brilliant free kick off the post.
