Analysis: Seagulls leave with regrets

Brighton and their hearty following all the way from the south coast will be left disappointed with a draw - Manchester City were there for the taking but they were unable to get the job done.

How they did not score in the first half will be a mystery. They were provided with gilt-edged opportunities which other teams visiting Etihad Stadium can only dream of.

Ferdi Kadioglu and Georginio Rutter were both guilty but Kaoru Mitoma did manage to draw them level with a delightful strike, rolled into the bottom corner out of the reach of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Boss Fabian Hurzeler and counterpart Pep Guardiola had plenty of words to say to each other on the touchline during the game, and the pair shared words too at full-time as Brighton extended their unbeaten run against City to four meetings.
