Brighton ended Manchester City's 12-game winning run in the Premier League to ensure they will play in the Europa League next season.
With City having already lifted the trophy, this game could have had the feeling of after the Lord Mayor's show, but Roberto De Zerbi's exciting team ensured a proper competition was had.
Phil Foden gave the champions the lead with a scuffed finish after an unselfish pass from Erling Haaland, who had already spurned two excellent openings. Brighton threatened when Danny Welbeck hit the woodwork with a curling free-kick and equalised through a stunning strike from Julio Enciso.
