00:00Hello, I'm Sam Morton, a reporter for Sussex World. I'm outside the Etihad Stadium where
00:04Brighton drew 2-1 against Manchester City in a really entertaining match that either
00:09side could have won. Brighton came back from behind twice in the game, so really you can
00:15see it as a point gained in that battle for the Champions League. But with the chances
00:19Brighton had, 2-1 especially, they probably should have won it. I mean, Man City hit the
00:23post, but Brighton had a massive chance, especially with Carlos Bolaiva having a glaring
00:30opportunity for point-blank range from a Jal Pedro cutback. Couldn't keep the ball down
00:35and on target unfortunately. Jankuva Minte also had a chance where he couldn't quite
00:39connect with Diego Gomez's pass. So it was a bit of disappointment in that sense, Brighton
00:45couldn't get the win, but a two-all draw is by no means a bad result at the home of the
00:50Champions. Obviously it's been a poor season for Man City, but they still are within a
00:54huge chance of getting a Champions League spot and it was a really big game in that
00:57race as we know that fifth place will probably be enough this season. So Brighton will be
01:04pleased to obviously avoid that defeat after going a goal behind twice in the match. It
01:10was Erling Haaland and Omar Mahmoud who scored the goals for City. And for Brighton, Pervis
01:14Estupinan scored his first goal since December 2023 with a brilliant free-kick. Jack Hinchwood
01:20would take the credit for what was a known goal from Khrushchev to level the scoring
01:24once again. So it was a great performance from Brighton I think, especially some of
01:31the midfielders. It was a great performance from Brighton really, especially Carlos Baleva
01:36who I thought was man of the match. It was a shame that he couldn't quite cap off a fine
01:39performance with a goal. So to see the rest of the player ratings and match reaction,
