After a very poor season in the Premier League, where they are only in 9th place, Liverpool were also knocked out of the FA Cup by Brighton after 2-1 in the last 16 of the competition.

Brighton – Liverpool 2-1, FA Cup

Jurgen Klopp’s men opened the scoring in the 30th minute thanks to Harvey Elliott, who superbly collected Mohamed Salah’s pass and scored.

A dunk equalized for Brighton nine minutes later, and Japan’s Kaoru Mitoma scored in added time, which was checked by the VAR system before being confirmed.

Liverpool are the current holders of the trophy with eight FA Cups to their credit.
