"Manchester City drew 1-1 with Brighton and Hove Albion midweek in the Premier League, suffering more dropped points. The Blues had already drawn their previous two league fixtures and needed a win ideally to keep the pressure on Arsenal, who are still to play this gameweek. Following injuries to Gvardiol and Dias, the lineup was a changed one. Donnarumma started in goal. Nunes, Khusanov, Alleyne, and Ake were the back four with O'Reilly being rested."
"After the early scare, City regained composure and began to have more control of the game. The Blues did not have any major chances but managed to find the breakthrough in the 38th minute, when Doku was brought down by Gomez. After a VAR review, a penalty was awarded to City. Haaland sent Verbruggen the wrong way to give the Blues the lead going into halftime."
Manchester City drew 1-1 with Brighton and Hove Albion, dropping more points and weakening title prospects. Gvardiol and Dias were injured, prompting a changed lineup: Donnarumma started, Nunes, Khusanov, Alleyne and Ake formed the back four, with Gonzalez in defensive midfield and Haaland leading the attack alongside Foden and Doku. Brighton threatened early, forcing two Donnarumma saves. City opened the scoring when Doku was fouled and Haaland converted the penalty. Bernardo hit the post late, and Mitoma equalised in the 60th minute, as City failed to find a winning goal despite continued possession and chances.
