Brighton stunned Premier League champions Manchester City as they came from behind to win 3-2 in front of their vocal home supporters at the Amex Stadium.
City looked in control after an early header from Ilkay Gundogan and Phil Foden’s superb solo effort early in the second half, despite having seen Joao Cancelo sent off for a professional foul after only 10 minutes.
However, the Seagulls, roared on by their 8,000 fans, mounted a superb fightback.
