Graham Potter’s men confirmed their claim to being a revelation team in the Premier League with a fantastic performance that earned them a point from Anfield. And that the game was very facing Liverpool after three minutes, when Jordan Henderson culminated with a goal a good play by Mohamed Salah on a wing.
Sadio Mané, in the 24th minute, extended the lead for Liverpool and then scored another goal that was annulled after the VAR review.
Jürgen Klopp’s men had left Brighton alive, who hit before the break through the Zambian player Enock Mwepu, who made one of the goals of the day. He signed a shot from outside the area that surpassed Alisson.
Leo Trossard, 25 minutes from the end, made it 2-2 after a good combination of the ‘Seagulls’ and, although those from the south of England had opportunities to win the match, they had to be content with a point.
