Brighton staged a superb fightback from two goals down to beat Manchester City 3-2 after the champions had Joao Cancelo sent off as fans returned to the Premier League on Tuesday.
Supporters have been allowed back into Premier League matches this week for the first time since December following the UK’s easing of Coronavirus restrictions. A limited number of fans had attended the League Cup final and the FA Cup final in April and May respectively, as well as one of the FA Cup semi-finals. All of those matches were staged at Wembley, but the Premier League had delayed the last two rounds of fixtures to take advantage of the UK’s easing of Coronavirus restrictions.
Around 7,900 saw Brighton’s dramatic revival against City. With the title wrapped up, City are fine-tuning their preparations ahead of the Champions League final against Chelsea in Porto on May 29.
