Champions Manchester City’s 12-match winning streak in the Premier League came to an end as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Brighton , who secured Europa League football for next season.
Treble-chasing City, who wrapped up a fifth title in six seasons at the weekend, lacked their usual intensity but took the lead when Phil Foden slotted home in the 25th minute.
Brighton have sealed sixth-place and the club’s first venture into Europe, and showed why with some vibrant football and Julio Enciso equalised for the hosts with a stunning long-range effort in the 38th minute.
Danny Welbeck had a goal ruled out before halftime for Brighton and Erling Haaland thought he had put City ahead late on but was penalised for shirt-pulling after a VAR check.
It was the first time since February that City had dropped points and with one league game left at Brentford on Sunday they have 89 points, eight more than Arsenal.
Follow all the action as Brighton host Man City in the Premier League:
The 19-year-old Paraguay forward unleashed a thunderous, swerving effort into the top right corner from 25 yards seven minutes before the break to mathematically guarantee Albion a sixth-placed finish.
Phil Foden put the newly-crowned champions ahead at the Amex Stadium with his fifth goal in as many starts against the Seagulls.

Danny Welbeck spoke to Sky Sports about securing Europa League football for Brighton: “It means a lot. We have worked really hard this season.
“It has been difficult, we’ve had a transition with a new manager coming in and everyone has responded in a brilliant way. To get Europa League football is amazing.
“From top to bottom the club is outstanding. It has some amazing people in it. We want to improve every day as players and people. It is an amazing club for youngsters to come to, to get professional football and play in the first team.
“This club is on a rise and we can’t wait for the Europa League next season.”

90+4 mins: The points are shared. Brighton secure Europa League football and clinch sixth place - their highest ever finish in the top flight.
They went toe-to-toe with the Premier League champions but couldn’t quite get themselves in front. City go unbeaten once more and extend that run to 25 games across all competitions.
