That's your lot for this live text.

Many thanks as ever for joining me for another WSL thriller as the title race took another late twist.

Do make sure to come back and join us in a bit though, Alex Brotherton will be here to take you through Bayern Munich v Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.

Should be a cracker that one.

If you'd rather go outside and enjoy the late afternoon sunshine then fair enough. We'll be back tomorrow with four WSL games plus Arsenal's European semi-final against Lyon.

Bye for now.

So Man City miss the chance to extend their lead at the top, which in turn leaves the door ajar for Arsenal in the title race.

Brighton stay sixth though the three points edges them closer to Spurs in fifth.

Stranger things have happened, Sakinah. We'll just have to wait and see...

Manchester City boss Andree Jeglertz speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a tough game but it is about scoring goals. We created a lot of chances in the first half and we needed to score. On the other hand, we need to protect our penalty box a little better.

"It’s important we learn from this game. I told the players it is so important that during the 90 minutes, we are really focused in all situations. Today we dropped a couple of percentages in some moments and we were punished.

"I’m not worried. Unfortunately you learn a lot in these games and I am fully sure that when we are back in training, we will be focused for Liverpool next week.

"We are following the other results and it is still in our hands. We will do everything we can to finish off with two wins."

In fairness Rylee, when you look at the result in the context of Brighton having only ever beaten Man City once in 14 meetings before today, plus Man City charging towards the title, it is a surprise.

Add to that the manner in which Man City dominated in the first half....

That's not to discredit the Seagulls, who I agree can beat anyone on their day, and rightly did so with a brilliant second half performance.

So today's result makes things a little more interesting.

How do you reckon it will unfold?

Manchester City captain Alex Greenwood: "It wasn't part of the plan. This is a really good side - we knew it was going to be a tough game here. The first half we had the better chances for sure and we probably should have been further ahead than we were.

"We let them back into the game just before half-time which was quite disappointing and then we missed the small details in the second half and let the game get away from us.

"While it is still in our hands, we need to stay really positive and look forward to next week. Two cup finals, two wins, that's the mentality moving forward.

"Now it's about mentality and who's got it in them to stand up when it's tough, I've got no doubt when I look around the dressing room, the club and the staff. We need to move on and look forward to next week and a massive game against Liverpool.

So what does that shock defeat for Man City mean?

Well, Arsenal play one of their games in hand against Leicester City on Wednesday, and if they win that, they will get to 41 points.

After that, they still have four games left to play. Win all of those and they would reach 53 points.

With Man City currently on 49 points with two games to play. They need five points from those two to win the title outright, or minimum four and hope the Gunners don't rein in the goal difference.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton goalscorer and player of the match Madison Haley speaking to Sky Sports: "For us it was more about tightening up. We knew what the game plan was, we were just not executing it in the first half, but we had moments.

"Getting the goal right before half time was important for us, but it was more building on the things that were breaking down in the first half in the second.

"Credit to the girls working hard. They put pressure on us in the final minutes but we stayed together and got three points.

On causing another upset: "At the beginning of this year the performances were there but unfortunately we weren't getting the results. We knew if we kept playing and doing the right things the result would come good. We are seeing the fruits of our labour now.

"We have some really big games coming up, some really hard games, but we are looking to get to Wembley and all of these games are preparations for us to try to get into that final."

Man City shaded the overall numbers but Brighton's clinical edge in the final third helped them win out in the end.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton forward Fran Kirby speaking to Sky Sports: "We didn't make it easy for ourselves. In the first half we were, if I can be quite blunt, awful. We were lucky not to be 3-0 or 4-0 down at one point. But we had the belief in the squad and second half was a really good performance from everyone. We are happy to keep the title race going for a little bit longer.

"I wasn't keeping calm myself. Look I just want to help the girls as much as I can and sometimes I get a bit hotheaded as everyone does. Today is a massive step forward for us and takes us another step further."

A tiny feeling of doubt has opened up. We thought it was cut and dried but that feels like that was a bit of a wobble.

Their performance was shaky and their possession nowhere near the level we’ve seen this season.

They couldn’t really create opportunities and in my opinion they became too direct too quickly.

Manchester City were nowhere near their best and this makes the end to the season a whole lot more interesting.

They had lots of chances in first half but they didn’t take them.

It's all over!

Brighton mount a remarkable turnaround to condemn league leaders Man City to just a third defeat of the campiagn.

Khadija Shaw gave the Blues late hope of a point but it wasn't to be as their title charge suffers a surprise setback.

What a second half performance from the Seagulls.

After a hopeful Man City punt up field lands at a blue and white shirt full-back Manuela Vanegas finally gets the message from a hopping Dario Vidosic and heads for the corner.

All Brighton have to do now is keep the ball but for some reason they keep pushing forward for another goal instead.

Oh my.

It is Yamashita who shows movement a forward would be proud of to get across the front post and deftly flick a header towards the target, but it's gathered by opposite number Chiamaka Nnadozie.

What a story that would have been.

Time to throw everything but the kitchen sink into the Brighton box as Man City earn a corner.

Goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita is up from the back.

Time is ticking away for Man City.

Grace Clinton fires a cross into the box to no-one in particular and it drifts over all the black shirts in the middle and out the other side.
