Brighton seal their place in the Europa League...
The 19-year-old forward unleashed a thunderous strike into the top right corner from 25 yards out shortly before the break to guarantee Brighton a sixth-placed finish.
Haaland had wasted two fine first-half chances, while Brighton’s Danny Welbeck rattled the crossbar from a free-kick and had a goal disallowed for offside, in addition to a Kaoru Mitoma effort being chalked off for handball. Guardiola brought back Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne as part of six changes from Sunday’s celebratory 1-0 win over Chelsea, while Brighton captain Lewis Dunk began on bench just hours after his England recall due to ongoing calf and back issues.
Yet City were guilty of causing their own problems in the opening exchanges with some risky passes out from the back. Riyad Mahrez’s superb through ball split Albion’s defence and Haaland raced clear to draw Steele and square for Foden, who slotted home to continue his fine scoring record against the Seagulls despite the best efforts of Jan Paul van Hecke on the line.
The frantic, end-to-end action extended into the second period, albeit chances were largely at a premium.
