Nothing was really going on in the first half and it ended with a 1-0 lead for Liverpool.
In the second half, Brighton had an early chance at 50’ minute but Diego Gomes couldn’t convert it into a goal. Liverpool also got a chance from Moh Salah at 59’ minute who was back after being excluded in the last game. The chance turned into a corner kick that was taken by Salah. The corner kick was taken brilliantly by Salah who then found Ekitike unmarked again in the far post, and he easily headed the ball into the net.
Brighton couldn’t find a way to score a goal and the game ended with a 2-1 win for Liverpool.
