Man City Stumble Again In Title Race As Brighton Snatch Draw
Manchester City missed out on the chance to make significant inroads into Arsenal’s Premier League lead on Wednesday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton while Aston Villa also dropped points.
Norway forward Haaland has reached 150 goals in all competitions in his 173rd appearance — 28 games faster than any other Premier League player.
Brighton scored a deserved equaliser in the 60th minute when Mitoma picked out the bottom corner from the edge of the area.
Haaland and his teammates squandered a succession of chances to draw their third game in a row.
The point leaves City on 43 points, five behind Arsenal, who can go eight clear with a home win against Liverpool on Thursday.
Villa are also on 43 points following a goalless stalemate at Crystal Palace.
