Champions Manchester City’s 12-match winning streak in the Premier League came to an end as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton , who secured Europa League football for next season.

Treble-chasing City, who wrapped up a fifth title in six seasons at the weekend, lacked their usual intensity but took the lead when Phil Foden slotted home in the 25th minute.

Brighton have sealed sixth-place and the club’s first venture into Europe, and showed why with some vibrant football and Julio Enciso equalised for the hosts with a stunning long-range effort in the 38th minute.

Danny Welbeck had a goal ruled out before halftime for Brighton and Erling Haaland thought he had put City ahead late on but was penalised for shirt-pulling after a VAR check.

It was the first time since February that City had dropped points and with one league game left at Brentford on Sunday they have 89 points, eight more than Arsenal.

Brighton vs Man City

Hello and welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Premier League encounter between Brighton and Manchester City.

This is a low stakes affair with both teams having already secured their goals for the season. For Brighton, they’ve earned themselves a place in Europe, most likely the Europa League, and will finish no lower than sixth place after an impressive campaign under boss Roberto De Zerbi.

City meanwhile secured their fifth Premier League title in six years, and third in a row, when Arsenal lost to Nottingham Forest last Saturday. Pep Guardiola’s men celebrated by defeating Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday before collecting their winners medals and lifting the trophy once again.

The City boss has always been full of praise for the way Brighton play their football and will be expecting a tough match tonight. With many of the Seagulls’ bright stars expecting to leave in the summer could a victory over the newly crowned champions be the perfect swansong for De Zerbi’s boys?

We’ll have all the build-up, team news and updates from the Amex Stadium throughout the evening so stick around to see if Brighton can shock Manchester City.
