Liverpool are one of the three potential candidates for the Premier League title this season. Currently, coach Jürgen Klopp's team is ranked 2nd with a lower goal difference than Arsenal before entering round 30.
Brighton are having a season that is not in the form they expected, when Roberto De Zerbi's team is ranked 9th on the rankings.
Entering the match, the surprise came in the 2nd minute, when Danny Welbeck took a shot from near the 16m50 area to defeat Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
After conceding the goal, Liverpool increased their pressure on their opponents, creating many opportunities to threaten goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen's goal, and their efforts were rewarded.
In the 27th minute, in a set-piece situation of the Reds of Merseyside, taking advantage of the negligence of the defense and mistakes from Joël Veltman, Luis Diaz caught the shot to level the gap in the surprise of Brighton fans.
In the second half, Klopp's familiar Gegenpressing football style confused De Zerbi's students and made serious mistakes.
Despite many opportunities, the lack of luck of Mohamed Salah and his teammates made the second goal appear until the 65th minute.
Alexis Mac Allister made a delicate pass for Salah to crush Brighton's defense, putting Liverpool ahead.
All the efforts of the "Seagulls" could not help them score an equalizer. This is coach Klopp's first victory over De Zerbi after a series of 4 matches of only draws and losses in all competitions.
3 points also changed the order of the top of the rankings. Liverpool have risen to the top of the table after the match between Manchester City and Arsenal ended in a 0-0 draw.
