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 1-0 Liverpool

35 mins: Liverpool’s performance today has been too slow. It’s too easy for Brighton to defend against and when the hosts transition into attack they’re onto the front foot quickly almost shocking the Reds with the speed of their play.

Liverpool win the ball high up the pitch and a couple of one touch passes from Darwin Nunez and Dominik Szobozslai almost get Mo Salah in on goal but the ball is intercepted at the last moment.

Alisson leapt across but might not have reached that one had it been on target.

Brighton 1-0 Liverpool

23 mins: That goal will annoy Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool have been playing in such a way as to invite Brighton’s defence higher up the pitch and they’ve been undone at their own game.

Mo Salah has a wild shot from wide of the box in reply but it doesn’t go anywhere near the target.

20 mins: Shocking from Liverpool!

A terrible pass from Virgil van Dijk leaves Alexis Mac Allister with nowhere to go and his pocket is picked deep in his own half by Simon Adringra.

Alisson is off his line as Adingra brings the ball to the box which means the goalkeeper cannot get across to stop the low fizzing effort from finding the back of the net!
