Manchester City Held to Draw by Brighton Despite Haaland’s Record-Breaking Performance
Manchester City's bid to close the gap on the Premier League's top four was thwarted by a resilient Brighton side, ending in a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium. Erling Haaland, however, continued his remarkable season by breaking yet another scoring record, becoming the fastest player to reach 50 goals in the Premier League.
The match kicked off with high intensity, with City taking the lead through a well-executed move finished by Kevin De Bruyne. Brighton, undeterred, responded quickly, equalizing through a stunning strike from Julio Enciso. The second half saw Haaland notch his historic goal, only for Brighton to level the scores again, thanks to a late header by Lewis Dunk.
This result leaves Manchester City still in the hunt for a top-four finish, but the dropped points against Brighton highlight the competitive nature of the league this season. Pep Guardiola's side will need to regroup quickly with crucial matches on the horizon.
