Brighton Snatch a Point as Khusanov’s Own Goal Haunts Manchester City

Manchester City and Brighton settled for a 2-2 draw, leaving City precariously holding onto fifth place, just a point ahead of their rivals in seventh.

This result offers Newcastle, nestled between the two with a game in hand, the chance to leapfrog City in the battle for European qualification.

The match, a blend of brilliance and chaos, served as a prelude to the nail-biting final ten fixtures of the season.

Late drama saw both teams come agonizingly close to sealing victory—Nico González struck the post, while Brighton’s Carlos Baleba squandered an open opportunity.

Pep Guardiola’s lineup raised eyebrows, with key players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Bernardo Silva starting on the bench. Yet, the strategy initially appeared to pay off when Erling Haaland converted a penalty in the 11th minute after Savinho was felled in the box.

This early lead, however, was a fleeting glimpse of control for City, who have struggled to replicate their dominant form of past seasons.

Brighton’s resilience was epitomized by Pervis Estupiñán, whose stunning free-kick equalized midway through the first half. Despite City regaining the lead through Omar Marmoush’s long-range strike, defensive lapses continued to plague Guardiola’s side.

A miscommunication in City’s defense allowed Brighton to level the score early in the second half, as Abdukodir Khusanov inadvertently turned the ball into his own net from a corner.

As the clock ticked down, City ramped up the pressure with Jérémy Doku wreaking havoc on the left flank. Yet, Brighton’s defense, led by the tireless Jan Paul van Hecke, held firm.

The final whistle left both teams reflecting on missed chances but with Brighton arguably the happier of the two, given their continued upward trajectory this season.

With Newcastle poised to capitalize and just ten games remaining, the race for Champions League spots promises plenty of twists and turns.
