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 Baleba having a glaring
00:30opportunity from point-blank range from a Jal Pedro cutback. Couldn't keep the ball
00:34down and on target unfortunately. Jankuva Minte also had a chance where he couldn't
00:39quite connect with Diego Gomez's pass. So it was a bit of disappointment in that sense.
00:45Brighton couldn't get the win, but a two-all draw is by no means a bad result at the home
00:49of the Champions. Obviously, it's been a poor season for Man City, but they still
00:54are within a huge chance of getting a Champions League spot. 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
01:14Estupinad scored his first goal since December 2023 with a brilliant free-kick. Jack Hinchwood
01:19will take the credit for what was a known goal from Khrushchev to level the scoring
01:24once again. To see the rest of the player ratings and match reaction, see sussexworld.co.uk
