Liverpool was held to a thrilling 2-2 draw at Brighton on Sunday, which cost the Reds the chance to move up to second place in the Premier League
Liverpool loses to Spurs last week
After their justifiable rage at losing to Spurs last weekend when a goal was wrongfully disallowed by a VAR blunder, Jurgen Klopp’s team will feel resentful at another refereeing decision.
A point puts Liverpool three points behind league leaders Tottenham. Just before halftime, Liverpool’s second goal was scored as a result of a penalty awarded to Pascal Gross for tripping Dominik Szoboszlai.
In the first 30 minutes, Brighton had given the guests the runaround. On his return to the Amex Stadium, Alexis Mac Allister had trouble, and he contributed to the first goal.
Brighton has just one win
According to jerrymusa.com Simon Adingra successfully intercepted the Argentine’s pass before Alisson Becker could react by attempting his shot from beyond the box too soon.
The rigours of European football have taken their toll on Roberto De Zerbi’s team, as Brighton has now won just one in six games after a promising start to the season.
Although Liverpool took advantage of the Seagulls’ flaws to turn the game around five minutes before halftime, their audacious strategy has garnered plenty of praise for the Seagulls.
Salah scored twice
Due to Harvey Elliot’s selfless decision to allow Darwin Nunez’s pass to locate Mohamed Salah, Brighton was penalised twice for turnovers inside their own half.
The penalty was subsequently awarded to Liverpool as a result of Szoboszlai’s heavy press after Gross was fouled and hauled down by the German midfielder.
Salah confidently converted the penalty kick, but Liverpool will ponder why they were not reduced to 10 men for the remainder of the match.
Lewis Dunk equalizes for Brighton
After further strong work from Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch was added at halftime to reinforce the Liverpool midfield. He should have made it 3-1 when he struck the bar with the goal gaping.
According to Vanguard That error cost Brighton the game as Lewis Dunk equalised with 12 minutes remaining, and Joao Pedro missed a golden opportunity with seconds left to seal the victory for Brighton.
