Haaland, E.
Roberto De Zerbi’s soaring Seagulls tested City, who were fortunate to escape with a draw despite nearly stealing the victory.
An inspired Brighton team gave the defending champions their biggest fright of 2023 in an enthralling 1-1 draw, snapping Manchester City’s 12-game Premier League winning streak.
Despite fielding a more capable squad than the one that defeated Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday, Pep Guardiola still tried new things, such as starting Rodri at center back, which only served to give Roberto De Zerbi’s nimble and determined Seagulls more control.
After two costly errors by Erling Haaland, Phil Foden gave City the lead, but Julio Encisco’s incredible goal tied Brighton. The hosts controlled the second half, but City thought they had scored with a header from Haaland, which was ultimately disallowed for a foul after a VAR review.
against the conclusion of the game, Brighton erupted in jubilation as they secured their spot in the Europa League, while City lost for the first time since their 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest on February 18 as they failed to win.
