Brighton v Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Lewis Dunk equalises deep in second half
Brighton 2-2 Liverpool: Lewis Dunk netted a second half equaliser to earn Brighton a point
Brighton and Liverpool played out an entertaining draw at the Amex Stadium in a four goal thriller that ebbed and flowed. Brighton took the lead in the first half thanks to some smart play from Simon Adingra who nicked the ball off Alexis Mac Allister and slotted home a fine finish.
Liverpool responded right at the end of the first half. First Mo Salah was slipped into the far side of the box and calmly sent it into the back of the net. The Reds were then awarded a penalty after a foul on Dominik Szobozslai and Salah stepped up to bag his second of the afternoon.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men kicked on in the second half and were rewarded thanks to some slack defending from Andy Robertson. Solly March’s free kick found Lewis Dunk in the box and he volleyed in the equaliser.

Brighton 1-2 Liverpool
69 mins: There’s a huge shout from Brighton for a handball inside the Liverpool penalty area after Kaoru Mitoma sweeps into the box from the right side.
He smashes a shot towards goal and pings the ball into the arm of Virgil van Dijk. The Brighton fans aren’t happy but I’m not sure what Van Dijk is meant to do there.
He’s too close to the ball to move out of the way from it.

66 mins: Mo Salah weaves into the box with the ball and looks for a pass. None of his teammates are around and he’s forced wide before eventually losing possession.

63 mins: Liverpool burst forward on the counter with Trent Alexander-Arnold trying to release the ball behind the Brighton defence for Mo Salah.
He threads the gap well but the ball goes too far away from Salah for the winger to make an impact and Bart Verbruggen sweeps out to collect the ball.
Jan Paul van Hecke replaces Igor Julio for Brighton. Igor seems to have picked up a niggle.

Wow.
