London (EFE) – Liverpool hit it this Wednesday at Anfield against Brighton & Hove Albion (0-1), with a goal from Colombian Steven Alzate, and remains seven points, with one more game, from the leader, Manchester City.
The ‘Reds’ were denied on target, especially Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, who were unable to convert just one of the chances they had, and Brighton took all three points thanks to a lucky goal from Colombian Steven Alzate.
The coffee midfielder finished off after a rebound in the area, with such luck that the ball touched a teammate and slipped into the goal of Caoimhin Kelleher, substitute this Wednesday in the goal of Alisson Becker.
Far from overturning on the Brighton goal, with more than half an hour ahead, it was the Seagulls who had opportunities to increase their income on the scoreboard and if it had not been for their poor goal and Kelleher’s saves, they could having led a much larger result from Anfield.
The defeat leaves Liverpool very touched in the fight for the Premier League, seven points behind Manchester City that did not fail against Burnley, and with a more disputed match.
Brighton, who have beaten Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool back-to-back, take a breath at the bottom of the table and climb to 15th with 24 points.
