  • BRIGHTON 1-3 LIVERPOOL

    85. Lamptey has a blemish on his performance – a yellow card.

    But worth the sacrifice of bringing down Mane 40 yards out than letting the sub run at goal.

    From the free-kick, Van Dijk wins the first header across the face and picks out his compatriot Wijnaldum but he cannot keep the header down from close range.

  • BRIGHTON 1-3 LIVERPOOL

    84. Trossard…. should score!

    Stephens clips a tasty chip over the top of the defence.

    Trossard is on to it and tries to lift it over Alisson but gets it all wrong and it is well over.

  • BRIGHTON 1-3 LIVERPOOL

    80. Alisson comes out and collects a cross… then tries to set Salah away.

    It is a beauty of a kick with worldy technique.

    But there is just slightly too much on it for the Egyptian. Almost wonderful.

  • BRIGHTON 1-3 LIVERPOOL

    78. That is now 20 assists since the beginning of last season in the Premier League. Not too shabby.

    Fabinho picks up a yellow card for a foul on Bissouma which halts the counter.

  • 76. From the resulting corner, Robertson whips it in low and hard.

    Salah runs across the front post, darting from the penalty spot.

    Lamptey can't block him off and Salah gets across and redirects the ball, heading sneakily inside the near post.

    A cute headed finish.

    Game over.

    BRIGHTON 1-3 LIVERPOOL

  • GOOOAAAALLLL!!!

    SALAH AGAIN!!!

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    75. Oooooh!

    Henderson so close to a second and a Liverpool third.

    Mane gets down the left and pulls it back for the skipper…

    His strike takes a wicked deflection….

    And it loops…

    Just wide!

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    73. Brighton win another corner and it causes all kinds of problems for Alisson.

    The Brazilian has his sight obscured by Dunk running in and cannot catch the cross.

    Let off.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    70. Graham Potter has turned to his bench, too.

    Aaron Mooy, Aaron Connolly and Yves Bissouma are all on after dropping out of the starting XI.

    They replace Mac Allister, Gross and Propper.

    Fresh legs in attack for the Seagulls… can they inspire an equaliser?

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    67. We are midway through the second half.

    And we all know what that means: time for a break.

    Liverpool were just getting themselves back on top of this second half before the halt in play.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    63. Well done, Tariq Lamptey.

    The right-back back tracks really rather well as Salah closes in on goal.

    He manages to put enough pressure on to stop the Egyptian getting a clean shot away but not enough to give a penalty away.

    Excellent defending from the very impressive youngster.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    62. Just like Eddie Nketiah yesterday, Mane's first involvement is to pick up a card.

    He throws an arm out to block off Lamptey and is booked…

    This time, unlikely 24 hours ago, VAR do not get involved to upgrade it to a red.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    61. Klopp has turned to his bench.

    Oxlade-Chamberlain and Keita make way for Sadio Mane and Fabinho.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    60. Should be 2-2. Brighton recycle the ball from a corner and the deep cross finds Burn at the back post, unmarked.

    The giant left-back doesn't seem to expect it and fluffs his lines, stabbing his effort.

    It is going wide but Wijnaldum hacks it away anyway.

    A huge let off for Liverpool, that.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    58. A swift counter sets Robertson away down the left.

    He messes up the first cross but gets a second bite at the cherry and picks out Henderson at the back post.

    The Reds skipper keeps his eye on it all the way and gets the technique all right to get his effort on target but Ryan is behind it.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    56. Have some of thattttt!

    Lewis Dunk throws his body in the way of a powerful shot.

    Huge defending.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    55. Alexander-Arnold puts in a pretty woeful* cross which balloons out for a goal kick.

    And replays show a coming together with him and Mac Allister a few moments ago, with the Liverpool man overrunning the ball and standing on the Argentine's ankle.

    That looked bad in slow motion but the VAR seems to be unmoved.

    * – by his lofty standards, not mine!

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    53. Salah surely will score…. no!

    The Egyptian gets slid in behind and he looks like he will cut inside and finish.

    But there is enough pressure from the defender to put him off as Ryan collects at the second time of asking.

    Chance for a 19th Premier League goal.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    51. Well he gave Williams problems in the first half and now Robertson.

    Lamptey beats the Scot far too easily but can't pick out a team-mate in the box.

    More warning signs for the champs…

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    49. But Brighton are straight back into it, too.

    And it is that man Maupay causing problems again as he tries to set Trossard away but Trent steps across to thwart it.

    Seconds later Webster wins a big header in the middle before Lamptey lets fly from distance… and it goes well, well wide.

    At the other end, Oxlade-Chamberlain gets to the byline before fizzing in a low cross which Ryan does well to gather.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    48. Liverpool making the early headway in this second half with Oxlade-Chamberlain and Robertson looking to combine down the left.

    Brighton just about get the low cross away after a slight mix up.

  • BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    46. It was for Williams – whose full Premier League debut lasts just 45 minutes.

    He was booked in that first half and was having a good battle with Lamptey.

    Now the Brighton youngster has a very different challenge to deal with.

  • HT: BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    Andy Robertson is coming on at half-time….

    I will let you know who for in just a moment.

    In the meantime, enjoy the snaps of Trossard's beauty.

  • HT: BRIGHTON 1-2 LIVERPOOL

    Right-backs Tariq Lamptey and Trent Alexander-Arnold have notched up the top speeds at 34.22km/h and 34.01km/h respectively.

    The average positions show just how well Trossard has got up and into some good positions cutting in off the left while Keita has pushed right up to support the front three.
