Liverpool 2-1 Brighton: Salah helps Reds to a comeback win that sees them go to the top of the league

Liverpool had to come from behind to beat Brighton 2-1, and this win took them two points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. The match’s hero was Mo Salah, who has been outstanding during the current season; he scored the match-winning goal, but Cody Gakpo equalized the match earlier. After both title rivals Manchester City and Arsenal dropped points on Saturday, Liverpool fans could not have wished for a better result.

At first, Brighton were more active on the pitch and dominated the match in the first half. Their early domination was rewarded when Ferdi Kadıoglu scored a superb goal to put the visitors ahead rightfully. Liverpool struggled to get into a good flow and Brighton ensured that they posed a good fight. There were good saves from both goalkeepers; Kelleher saved a one-on-one against Brighton’s Georginho Rutter while Verbruggen became the hero for his side with saves from Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister.

The change of pace was at the halfway into the second half. And then, almost by chance in the 70^th minute, Liverpool scored a goal. This was after Gakpo Cody crossed the ball from the left side in search of the forwards in the middle of the field but no player got a touch on it and the ball sailed straight into the far corner. It was a lucky goal, but it was the kind of goal that Liverpool needed to get them going. Only two minutes later, Salah created a piece of brilliance. Coming in from the right he let off a great shot that went over Verbruggen and sent Anfield into a frenzy. The desire was typical Salah – accuracy, strength, and confidence in one move.

The Brighton side continued to attack in the closing stages of the match as Liverpool defended their goal well. Slot’s side managed to see out the game with proper discipline to win what could be a crucial three points in their title hunt. The win put Liverpool at two points ahead at the top of the table with Brighton in the seventh position of the table.
