In this match, the “Seagulls” had more than three points at stake against the reigning champions of the tournament because they are near the relegation zone. The tactical approach took effect during the 90 ‘.
A solid defense made up of Roberto Sánchez, goalkeeper, and centrals White, Dunk and Webester. Without neglecting Bissouma who was in charge of thwarting the opponent’s advance in the middle of the field.
For its part, Liverpool did not find how to break Brighton’s arc. Salah had a very clear shot at the start of the first half, but his shot sent him over the goal. Later, his approaches were not so clear and forceful.
Just the opening of the scoreboard reached 56 minutes of the second half with Steven Alzate. The forward took advantage of a prolonged center by Burns that deflected in Phillips and was left to the Colombian footballer.
A 0-1 that did not move. Klopp’s team approached the tie but did not see it clearly. Brighton’s 0-2 was closer.
With this defeat, Liverpool remained in fourth position with 40 points and 7 from Manchester City; while Brighton is 10 points behind.
