The match report
De Zerbi left Anfield with his head held high, leaving behind that stadium that might become his next year. The Reds, in fact, have been eyeing the former Sassuolo who made a good impression with his Seagulls thanks to an early goal by Wellbeck that unlocked the match. Indeed, just 2 minutes in, the English striker found the net after collecting a rebound from Van Dijk. However, after just twenty-five minutes, Liverpool equalizes thanks to a shot from the left by Luis Diaz. In the second half, the home team doubles their lead with a goal by Salah who is assisted by McAllister and finds the net, beating Verbruggen. Brighton tries to push forward in the final stages, but struggles in open play and risks conceding a third. Luis Diaz scores but is offside, Verbruggen saves from Salah. Liverpool wastes opportunities, but wins deservedly: Jurgen Klopp surpasses De Zerbi for the first time and enjoys the summit.
