Brighton's Julio Enciso struck an incredible equalizer as the Seagulls drew entertainingly with reigning champion Manchester City to secure their place in the Europa League.
Goalkeeper Jason Steele was left helpless by Erling Haaland's assist, allowing Phil Foden to slip the ball past Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke on the goalline and give Treble-chasing City the lead.
With a magnificent strike from 25 yards that arrowed into the top corner, Seagulls, 19, Enciso, earned them a point.
As Brighton held on for a draw, ending City's 12-game winning streak in the Premier League, Haaland had a goal disallowed for pulling on his defender in the 79th minute.
For Brighton, the fought-for point guarantees a top-six finish and a spot in the Europa League group stage for the following campaign.
