Ghanaian defender Tariq Lamptey will be featuring in next season’s UEFA Europa League with Brighton and Hove Albion following a 1-1 stalemate with Manchester City on Wednesday evening, ending City’s impressive 12-game winning streak in the Premier League.
The result also mathematically guarantees Brighton a place in next season’s UEFA Europa League.
Tariq Lamptey, sidelined by a knee injury that prematurely ended his 2022/23 season, watched the thrilling draw between Brighton and Manchester City from the stands at the American Express Community Stadium. The talented player is expected to resume training in June.
Brighton’s Julio Enciso delivered a remarkable equalizer, sealing a place in the UEFA Europa League for the Seagulls in an entertaining draw against champions Manchester City.
It was Phil Foden who opened the scoring for City, managing to guide the ball past Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke on the goal line with assistance from Erling Haaland, leaving goalkeeper Jason Steele helpless.
Brighton fought back and deservedly equalized through the impressive 19-year-old Enciso, who unleashed a powerful shot from 25 yards that found the top corner of the net.
In the 79th minute, Haaland had a goal disallowed after a review by the video assistant referee due to a foul on his marker. Despite the late drama, Brighton held on for the draw, putting an end to City’s 12-match winning streak in the Premier League.
