Brighton vs Man City player ratings: Duo score 9s but trio bitterly disappoint in 1-1 draw

In a game where both sides highlighted their defensive frailties, it was City who struck first after 41 minutes when VAR ruled that Diego Gomez had fouled Jeremy Doku inside the penalty area, leaving Erling Haaland with the simple task of converting from the spot.

After a slow start to the second half, the Seagulls hit back through a piece of individual brilliance from Kaoru Mitoma on the hour mark. The Japan international jinked his way off of the left before whipping his strike into the far corner and beyond Gianluigi Donnarumma.
