Brighton’s place in the next season’s Europa League was solidified by Julio Enciso’s stunning equalizer, which ended Manchester City’s 12-game winning streak in a thrilling 1-1 draw.
Manchester City initially took the lead at the Amex Stadium through Phil Foden’s goal, his fifth against Brighton in as many starts.
However, despite City bringing back key players, their winning momentum was halted as Erling Haaland’s 79th-minute header was disallowed due to VAR spotting a shirt pull on Levi Colwill.
This draw marked the first time City dropped points since February 18, bringing an end to their exceptional winning run.
The match showcased Brighton’s resilience and secured their spot in European football, while leaving City frustrated by the disallowed goal and VAR controversy.
