Liverpool continued its disappointing results for its fans by losing away from home at the hands of Brighton, 3-0, today, Saturday, in the 20th round of the English Premier League.
Brighton’s hat-trick came with the signature of Solly Marsh’s “double” in the 47th and 53rd minutes before Danny Welbeck scored a third goal in the 81st minute.
The victory gave Brighton the opportunity to overtake Liverpool in the standings table towards a seventh place by reaching the 30th point, while the Reds’ balance froze at 28 points, dropping to eighth place.
The first minutes witnessed clear control from Brighton, who tried to reach Alisson Becker’s goal in various ways, but he did not succeed in posing a real threat.
The defenders of the two teams played a heroic role in reducing the danger of the attackers on both goals until the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah almost fired a ball over the crossbar.
And there was an opportunity for a goal for Brighton after Marsh received a through the pass, to penetrate the penalty area before dodging Alisson, who collided with him and caused Sully to fall to the ground so that the referee awarded a penalty kick.
The referee then received a notification from the “var” room stating that Marsh was offside the moment the ball was passed to him, which prompted him to cancel his decision and count offside, so the first half ended with a goalless draw.
The start of the second half came hot after Matip made a huge mistake with a pass that did not reach one of his teammates, but was extracted by one of the Brighton players and turned into a counterattack, ending it with a cross pass towards Marsh, who ensured that it was placed in the net easily.
