Man City drops more points, Nottingham Forest wins in quest for Champions League

London, Mar 16 (UNI) Manchester City dropped two more vital points as Pep Guardiola's side looks to qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League after a 2-2 home draw with Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Erling Haaland put City ahead with an 11th-minute penalty, but Pervis Estupinan leveled with a free kick that went in off the post just 10 minutes later.

Omar Marmoush hit home a 20-meter strike to restore City's lead six minutes before the break, but it was 2-2 three minutes into the second half when Abdukodir Khusanov deflected Jack Hinshelwood's effort into his own goal.

Nottingham Forest strengthened its top-four claim with a 4-2 win away to Ipswich Town, who sank deeper into trouble after the team's defensive weaknesses were again exposed.

Nikola Milenkovic opened the scoring with a close-range effort, before Anthony Elanga struck twice to put the visitor 3-0 up before halftime.

Jens Cajuste pulled a goal back for Ipswich with eight minutes left, but Jota Silva ended any comeback hopes, before George Hirst scored a late second for Ipswich.

Nottingham Forest now sits third with 54 points, six more than fifth-placed Manchester City, while Ipswich remains in the relegation zone.

Brentford came back from a goal down to win 2-1 away to Bournemouth and claim its fifth consecutive win on the road, while Bournemouth has lost the last three games.

Vitaly Janlet deflected a cross into his own net to give Bournemouth the lead in the 17th minute, before Yoane Wissa leveled for Brentford with Brentford captain Christian Norgaard sweeping home the winner 20 minutes from time.

Jorgen Strand Larsen scored twice as Wolverhampton won 2-1 away to Southampton to put nine points between itself and Ipswich, while leaving Southampton rooted in last place.

Jake O'Brien netted a stoppage time equalizer as Everton drew 1-1 at home to West Ham, which will have pleased Everton coach David Moyes after Tomas Soucek's impressive 67th-minute opener for his former club.
