Pep compares Brighton to Michelin Restaurant

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.

Follow all the action as Brighton host Man City in the Premier League:

Brighton 1-1 Man City

51 mins: Phil Foden looks to have picked up a knock - he was moving awkwardly at the end of the first half - so Pep Guardiola wastes no time in taking him off. Cole Palmer comes on to replace him.

Roberto De Zerbi also makes a change with Julio Enciso and Billy Gilmour taken off for Alexis Mac Allister and Evan Ferguson.

48 mins: Bernardo Silva carries the ball down the left side before slipping it into the box for Phil Foden. Foden takes it to the byline and lifts a cross over to the far side but there’s no-one their to get on the end of it.

Ilkay Gundogan then recycles the ball for City and takes a shot that gets deflected behind for a corner.

HT Brighton 1-1 Man City

Phil Foden has six Premier League goals against Brighton - at least twice as many as he has versus any other opposing side. In fact, only Harry Kane (7) has ever scored more Premier League goals against the Seagulls than Foden.

Half-time: Brighton 1-1 Man City

45+3 mins: A very entertaining first half comes to a close. Manchester City haven’t really been on it except for Phil Foden who’s displayed all his quality.

The visitors took the lead but that unshackled Brighton and they stepped up their attacking intent. Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck had goals disallowed but Julio Enciso rocketed home a wonderful strike to equalise.

All to play for in the second half.
