Brighton are out of the Carabao Cup after a 2-2 draw at Manchester City in normal time, losing 4-3 on penalties. The visitors went ahead twice, through Malick Yalcouye and Georginio Rutter, but could not hold on to their lead.

Matteo Kovacic equalised before half-time and, in the 72nd minute, Rayan Cherki's free-kick deflected off Vitor Reis made it 2-2. In the shoot-out, Jason Steele saved Kovacic's effort and Geronimo Rulli stopped Yasin Ayari and Lewis Dunk, while Cherki converted the decisive kick.

According to the Brighton official website, the club now turns its focus to this Saturday's Premier League trip to the Etihad.
