Last night, Brighton and Hove proved that money can’t buy you everything.
The long-awaited clash between Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester City was finally played – and what a game it was too.
Brighton went ahead just after the hour when Gelson Fernandes knocked in the first goal, giving Brighton the advantage for the rest of the game.
It was only in the 89th minute when Glenn Murray levelled for the travelling side before Brighton managed to knock in another goal in extra time thanks to Joe Anyinsah‘s late effort.
Amazingly, City’s Stephen Ireland squeezed in an equaliser before the whistle taking the game to penalties.
But it was the Seagulls who held their nerve, taking the win and a ticket to the third round clash against the Rams down at the Withdean Stadium.
Derby will travel to Brighton on Tuesday 4th November 2008 in vain hope of continuing their successful run in the Carling Cup.
