Liverpool moved up to the top after success with Brighton

Liverpool continue their fight for the title in the Premier League, winning at home against Brighton.

Jurgen Klopp’s side made a poor start to the game at Anfield and conceded a goal after just two minutes.

Former Manchester United and Arsenal player Danny Welbeck opened the scoring against De Zerby.

Before the break, the Cormorants restored parity thanks to a goal by Luis Diaz (29th minute).

In the second half, the hosts rushed to the goal, which was defended by Verbruggen, and managed to take the lead in the 65th minute thanks to Mohamed Salah, who was superbly fed by Mack Allister.

The score could have been 3-1, but Luis Diaz’s goal was disallowed for offside.
