Liverpool endured a frustrating day at the Amex Stadium as they conceded two avoidable goals against Brighton over the weekend.
A double from Mohamed Salah gave Jurgen Klopp’s side the lead after half-time but they were pegged back by a Lewis Dunk goal.
An early mistake from Virgil van Dijk allowed Simon Adingra to pounce and give the home side the lead in the 20th minute, before Salah brought his side level just before half-time.
Six minutes later Salah put Liverpool ahead after Pascal Gross fouled Dominik Szoboszlai just as the Hungarian was poised to strike. On second look, the German international was certainly lucky to escape without a red card.
The Reds led until the 78th minute when Andy Robertson failed to intervene at the front post from a Solly March free-kick, as Dunk anticipated the cross and applied the easy finish from a few yards out.
While Klopp was openly angry about the decision to not send Gross off in his post-match interviews, his side still sit in fourth place after eight games - just three points off joint-leaders Arsenal and Tottenham as they head into the international break.
