BHABrighton beat Man City 1-0 at the Etihad, with Ayari scoring in the 11th minute from a De Cuyper assist, and that single goal settled the contest. City dominated the ball with 62.4% possession and fired 21 shots, six of them on target, yet could not turn that pressure into a goal, while Brighton managed seven shots, three on target.
