Moments after Vivianne Miedema was played through but saw the ball smothered by goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, Michelle Agyemang forced a save at the other end from Khiara Keating and Rachel McLauchlan laid it back for Fran Kirby to sweep Brighton ahead.
Nnadozie tipped away a deflected effort from Miedema to protect Albion’s lead going into the break.
City equalised before the hour mark, Khadija Shaw with a flying header from Leila Ouahabi’s cross to the far post.

As in their opening game at the weekend, Arsenal came from behind to defeat fellow Londoners.
West Ham went ahead with a fifth-minute own-goal, Shekiera Martinez’s deep cross going in off Daphne van Domselaar after she spilled the ball against the post.
Arsenal levelled as Beth Mead found Frida Maanum who tucked her shot past Hammers’ keeper Megan Walsh.
Seven minutes after the restart, Stina Blackstenius fired the Gunners in front after the ball was flicked back to her by Alessia Russo.
Caitlin Foord headed in from a Mariona Caldentey corner, to give the visitors a two-goal cushion.
Two late goals were added, Olivia Smith twice playing her part as Russo bagged a brace, the second from a penalty.
