Liverpool had 68 games unbeaten at Anfield when they lost to Burnley two weeks ago (0-1). Now however has been two games in a row falling into his own stadium after the surprise that the Brighton (0-1) against the ‘reds’ in a new day of the Premier League. Liverpool do not find themselves: where they were stronger, they are more vulnerable now. On Sunday he receives Manchester City in his fiefdom and Guardiola’s men are seven points apart with one game less. It’s the last train for the Premier League.
Alzate’s goal came in the second half, almost on the rebound, breaking a statistic that lasted almost three decades. Liverpool had not lost in the last 12 games against him Brighton between all competitions (10 wins, 2 draws). But a good play by Trossard left the ball to the midfielder ‘seagull’ and shot to beat Kelleher. Yes, you have read Kelleher right. Klopp encountered one more bad news on defense. Other. Without his four starting centers, the goalkeeper was still missing. In the morning, Alisson woke up sick and was unable to be available at Anfield, so his position was taken by the young man Kelleher.
Liverpool tried it without luck. More than 10 shots in the whole game but just one on goal. The absence of Mane, injured, it became very heavy. Brighton held on in defense led by an immeasurable Webster, with Robert Sánchez in goal and with Bissouma covering the entire midfield. A victory that takes the Southerners 10 points away from relegation.
