Manchester City twice blew the lead in a 2-2 draw against Brighton on Saturday as Abdukodir Khusanov's own goal dented their bid to qualify for the Champions League.
Pep Guardiola's side led through Erling Haaland's early penalty at the Etihad Stadium.
But Pervis Estupinan hauled Brighton level and, although Omar Marmoush restored City's lead just before the interval, the Seagulls levelled again in the second half thanks to Khusanov's mistake.
City remain in fifth place in the Premier League, one point behind fourth-placed Chelsea, who visit Arsenal on Sunday, and one point ahead of Newcastle and seventh-placed Brighton.
