In an open and entertaining clash at the Etihad, both City and Brighton shared four goals.
The visitors were first to threaten and saw an early goal ruled out before the Blues went ahead through an Erling Haaland penalty on 11 minutes.
Brighton fought back to make it 1-1 from a free-kick 10 minutes later and both teams had chances before Omar Marmoush restored City’s lead before half-time.
Just after the restart, the visitors scored a scrappy leveller with Abdukodir Khusanov unlucky to see the ball hit his thigh and roll over the line.
Both teams had chances to win the game, but had to settle for a point in a bright and breezy encounter at the Etihad.
