Video summary
Press to jump
- 2:00Yalcouyé opens the scoring for Brighton before Kovačić brings Manchester City level.
- 3:52Rutter restores Brighton's lead early in the second half.
- 7:29Cherki's free kick deflects off Vitor Reis for City's second equalizer.
- 8:38Brighton strike the woodwork following a set piece.
- 10:45The penalty shootout begins, with the deciding kick at 13:08.
Jason Steele saves Mateo Kovačić's penalty, giving Brighton an opening in the shootout. It is not enough: Manchester City advance, leaving Albion with a cup exit after twice making the hosts find an equalizer.
Brighton's own highlights have drawn nearly 150,000 views in 18 hours, far beyond the club channel's usual start for a regular video. The package gives supporters plenty of the football that preceded the disappointment, rather than just the deciding kicks.
Malick Yalcouyé supplies the opener. After Kovačić levels, Georginio Rutter restores Brighton's lead early in the second half. City's next equalizer comes from Rayan Cherki's free kick, deflected off Vitor Reis, and Brighton later strike the woodwork from a set piece.
The comments return to those missed opportunities. One viewer singles out Jack Hinshelwood's chance to shoot first time; others discuss Yalcouyé getting more games and Yankuba Minteh's return. A self-described City supporter offers a different perspective, recalling how uncomfortable the match was from the other side.
The highlights are presented in a paid partnership with MPB. Alongside them, Brighton has posted separate clips of Yalcouyé and Rutter's goals, plus Fabian Hürzeler's post-match assessment of the cup exit.
