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.
Following the game, we’ve decided to look at what the five key things we learned from the draw with Brighton were.
5. Alisson Becker is human after all
The Liverpool shot-stopper could, and maybe should, have done a lot better with Brighton’s opener. Perhaps he was caught off guard by the early strike from Adingra. Perhaps we’re being slightly harsh but the Brazilian has been such tremendous form for the past year, you just expect him to save that. He later made a brilliant save from the winger one-on-one which made up for the error. | Liverpool FC via Getty Images
