Liverpool tried to battle past Brighton & Hove Albion but the Reds failed to do so as it finished 2-2 at Anfield. Let’s have a look at the match highlights to know what happened when Liverpool welcomed Brighton at the weekend.
The kick-off saw an early chance for both teams. While Liverpool were the one who took on the advantage by converting their chance into a goal. As the captain leading from the front put the ball back of the Seagulls nets from a beautiful curling shot. With this, Sadio Mane made it a 2 goal cushion for the Reds tucking in a simple header from an excellent cross.
Meanwhile, Brighton had their chances through the first half but it was a crossing effort from Enock Mwepu which turned into a long ranger beautiful goal. Thus, the whistle blew to finish the 1st half at Liverpool 2-1 Brighton.
The second half saw a poor display from the Reds. Brighton put on an energetic performance to cancel out Liverpool’s one-goal advantage. And thus, they were successful in doing so. The Reds never really look like scoring in the second half. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp might be happy to get a point out of this game considering their 2nd half performance.
Next up for Liverpool is a UEFA Champions League clash. The Reds will be getting ready to welcome the Spanish champions Atletico Madrid at Anfield in the midweek. This will be the 4th matchday of Group B and if Liverpool wins this one they will be on their way in the round of 16 of the competition.
Liverpool is my Religion and Anfield is my Church. 17th May 1996 the date I had my blood coloured red. The one you love the most you can not live without it and that is football to me.
