Manchester City’s match against Brighton ended in a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
City took the lead twice, but Brighton equalized both times. Erling Haaland scored the opening goal from a penalty kick in the 11th minute, and Omar Marmoush restored City’s lead before halftime.
However, Brighton’s Pervis Estupiñán scored from a free-kick in the 21st minute, and Abdukodir Khusanov’s own goal in the 48th minute sealed the draw.
Pep Guardiola’s reaction was mixed, praising the team’s performance as “much, much, much better” than their previous game against Nottingham Forest. He also commended young players like Omar Marmoush for their energy and performance. However, Guardiola was disappointed that City couldn’t hold on to their lead twice in the game.
Despite the draw, Guardiola remains optimistic about City’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League. He believes the team has “nine finals” left to play in the Premier League and is confident they can rise to the challenge. Guardiola also provided an update on Ederson and Bernardo’s injuries, hoping they’ll be available after the international break.
