Man City Draws 2-2 with Brighton, Champions League Spot in Jeopardy

Manchester City fails to secure a win, leaving their Champions League qualification hopes uncertain after Brighton's resilient performance.

Manchester City twice took the lead through Erling Haaland's penalty and Omar Marmoush's long-range strike but were pegged back by Brighton each time.
Brighton's Pervis Estupinan scored a free-kick, and a second-half own goal by City's Abdukodir Khusanov secured the draw for the visitors.
City remains fifth in the Premier League standings, one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea, with Brighton just one point behind them in seventh place.
A top-five finish would likely secure Champions League qualification this season due to strong performances by English clubs in Europe, but City's position remains precarious.
Brighton extended their unbeaten run to seven games, while City has now conceded 40 league goals this season, the most under manager Pep Guardiola.
