Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion
CHANCE! Lallana nearly finds a leveller against his old club after he is picked out in the box, though his low shot dribbles a couple of yards wide of the left post. That would've been some story if he was the man to break Liverpool hearts!

Five minutes left at Anfield, and the visitors aren't exactly hammering the door down in their pursuit of an equaliser. In fact, it's the hosts who look the more likely to grab the fourth goal of this game and secure the three points.

SAVE! Dunk gets up brilliantly to meet Gross' free-kick delivery into the box, and his header looks to be sneaking into the bottom corner, until Kelleher gets down to his left to tip past the post.

Most of Brighton's threat in this game has been on the counter-attack. Now they have to be the side pressing, it'll be interesting to see if they can conjure up the same problems for Liverpool.

Liverpool charge forward on the counter, with Diaz laying it to his left for Salah. The Egypt international gets into the box, but his effort doesn't seriously trouble Verbruggen, who gets down low to make the save.

NO GOAL!!! It remains 2-1 as the linesman's decision to award offside is confirmed to be correct, with Diaz's 'goal' ruled out. There really wasn't much in it, though!

GOOOAAALLL!!! Or is it??? Diaz thinks he has put Liverpool 3-1 up as he gets onto the end of Salah's perfectly weighted throughball, before his shot goes straight through Verbruggen. He wheels off to celebrate, but the flag goes up for offside to curtail the jubilant scenes. There will be a VAR check, however...
