Kaoru Mitoma scored a wonderful goal in added time to earn Brighton their second win over Liverpool in a matter of weeks and knock out the FA Cup holders

Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool have to 'play better football' after Brighton defeat

Brighton beat Liverpool at the Amex to knock out the FA Cup holders after Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma scored a brilliant late winner.

Harvey Elliott had put Liverpool in front before Brighton equalised with a stroke of fortune when Tariq Lamptey’s shot was deflected home by Lewis Dunk, making it level at the break following an entertaining first half.

Both sides created chances to win it in the second period but it was Mitoma who finally delivered the quality required, taking a calm touch before flicking the ball away from a defender and steering it into the far corner past Alisson to spark bedlam at the Amex and send Brighton into the fifth-round draw.

Half-time: Brighton 1-1 Liverpool

Well that was a lot of fun. Salah missed a couple of big chances before teeing up Harvey Elliott, who made no mistake in capping off a quick counter-attack. But a few minutes later, Tariq Lamptey’s shot deflected off Lewis Dunk and into the net to equalise for Brighton.

A big slice of fortune, but the score feels about right for what has been an entertaining, open and even game.

And it’s level! This game has felt full of goals right from kick-off and now we have two, as Lamptey’s long shot deflects off captain Lewis Dunk and wrongfoots Alisson. A big stroke of fortune, but Brighton have been very positive as ever.

33 min: Liverpool had certainly had the edge in terms of chances, and that goal seems fair reward for their start here. Brighton look threatening, though.

GOAL! Brighton 0-1 Liverpool (Elliott, 30)

Finally, the breakthrough! Liverpool break and Salah feeds Harvey Elliott surging into the box. The midfielder composes himself before hitting first time with his weaker right foot, and Steele can’t get quiet enough glove on the ball to stop it rolling into the net.

23 min: Salah doesn’t usually miss these. A good pass by Elliott sets him through on goal but somehow the Egyptian drags a simple finish wide.
