In the 55th minute, Pascal Gross hit on goal from the penalty line, but the sphere flew much higher than the target. In the 62nd minute, Mark Cucurella cut a pass from the flank to Leandro Trossard, but a dangerous shot from the Belgian dragged Ederson, preventing the opponent from closing the gap in the score.In the 65th minute, the Seagulls earned a corner, but Canselu knocked the sphere away from his possessions after a cross. In the 74th minute, Brighton earned another corner, which was also taken badly, but half a rebound was behind the Seagulls, followed by a pass to the penalty line, from where Solly March fired at the goal, sending a game projectile well above the crossbar. In the 80th minute, Ederson fearlessly threw himself at the feet of Enoku Mwepu and knocked down his opponent – a penalty, the referee immediately showed. Alexis McAlister came up to the “point” and shot into the corner, he did it badly, Ederson even managed to hit the ball, but he also flew into the net from him – 1:3. The hosts didn’t have enough for the Greater, and City easily brought the match to their victory, in the very end, scoring another goal, Riyad Mahrez scored: Phil Foden successfully fought for the ball and passed to the Algerian, whose shot into the near corner came out unstoppable.
