Josep Guardiola's team dropped points in a goal shootout with the Seagulls.
Manchester City drew with Brighton in a home match of the 29th round of the English Premier League (EPL) of the 2024/25 season. The match at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester ended with a score of 2:2 .
In the 11th minute of the match, the score was opened by the “citizens” striker Erling Haaland , who converted a penalty. For the 24-year-old Norwegian striker, this is the 100th effective action during his time in the Premier League (84 goals and 16 assists).
It took Haaland just 94 matches in the English Premier League to set the record, making him the first player in Premier League history to achieve this feat in less than 100 matches.

The visitors equalised in the 21st minute through Pervis Estupiñán, but before the break, Josep Guardiola's team took the lead again – Omar Marmos scored in the 39th minute.
However, the current champion of the Premier League was unable to bring the matter to victory. At the start of the second half, the Uzbek defender of the “sky-blues” Abdukadir Khusanov scored an own goal. As a result, the teams separated with a productive draw.
