Surprise in England: Steven Alzate’s Brighton beat Liverpool 1-0 as a visitor, for matchday 22 of the Premier League. The Colombian started and scored the winning goal at Anfield.
In his match number 28, Alzate scored his first Premier League goal. In addition, it was his second entry with the Brighton jersey, as he would have already scored against Blackpool for the FA Cup, on January 23 of this year.
After a goalless first half, Brighton took the lead in the first minutes of the complement. Al 54’, Alzate opened the scoring after making a good team move. Pascal threw a cross from the right to the far post, where Burn appeared to lower it to the middle of the area and the Colombian arrived to finish off with his right leg and beat goalkeeper Kelleher.
Alzate returned to play for Premier after being absent for 6 dates, as his last appearance had been on December 27, 2020 against West Ham. He was not a starter in the league since December 16 of last year. Against Liverpool he added his tenth game of the season, taking into account all competitions.
What’s next for Alzate in Brighton
On Saturday February 6, the team led by Graham Potter will visit the Burnley on the 23rd of the Premier. Four days later they will face Leicester in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
With victory, Brighton reached box 15 of the table with 24 units, while Liverpool remains in 4th place with 40 points, 7 behind the leader Manchester City.
