Brighton vs Liverpool – LIVE!

Lewis Dunk’s late equaliser earned Brighton a 2-2 Premier League draw with Liverpool at the Amex Stadium, a result that both Jurgen Klopp and Roberto De Zerbi will be relatively content with heading into the international break.

Winger Simon Adingra took advantage of an error from Alexis Mac Allister and then Alisson in the visitors’ goal to give the Seagulls the lead midway through the first half. But the game turned on its head before the break, Mohamed Salah slotting home to level after being played in by Harvey Elliott, then firing Klopp’s side in front with a penalty after Pascal Gross had hauled down Dominik Szoboszlai.

Ryan Gravenberch spurned a golden chance to seal the win when he struck the bar with the goal at his mercy, before the final word went to the home side, Dunk volleying in 12 minutes from the end to keep Brighton sixth.

FT: Brighton 2-2 Liverpool

16:12 , Matt Verri

It finishes level at the Amex!

Salah’s brace looked to have earned victory for Liverpool for much of the second-half, but Dunk’s equaliser ensures Brighton take a point into the international break.

That was a lot of fun.

15:54 , Matt Verri

90+3 mins: Liverpool looking the more likely in stoppage-time.

Salah with a couple of dangerous runs into the box, March does just about enough on both occasions to halt his progress.

15:52 , Matt Verri

90+1 mins: Four minutes added on.

That’s not a lot at all, especially by current standards. Clearly that rule about adding more on only applies to some matches.

15:50 , Matt Verri

89 mins: Salah with a chance in the Brighton box, great block. Falls back to him but he can’t get the shot away at the second time of asking.

Pedro is off for Brighton, Fati will get a couple of minutes.

Big goal!

15:49 , Matt Verri

15:47 , Matt Verri

86 mins: Liverpool are a mess down their right side.

Gomez dives in and Mitoma can sprint away from him, really poor defending. Drives inside, 25 yards out and Gomez gets back... only to drag him down.

Free-kick Brighton, yellow card.

15:45 , Matt Verri

84 mins: HUGE MISS!

Pedro has to score!

Adingra skips away from Robertson, far too easy. Cuts the ball back, rolls perfectly into Pedro’s path and he blazes over. Awful.

15:44 , Matt Verri

83 mins: Mac Allister now gives away a cheap free-kick, almost in an idential position.

Terrible delivery from Gross, lucky to get away with earning a corner. Brighton take it short, ball doesn’t come in and that’s a huge waste.

15:41 , Matt Verri

80 mins: Gomez is on for Alexander-Arnold for the final ten minutes.

This is set up to be some finish to this match, get the impression neither have much interest in settling for a point.

GOAL! Brighton 2-2 Liverpool | Lewis Dunk 78'

15:39 , Matt Verri

Brighton level it up!

March whips the free-kick into a great area, Robertson lets it go at the near post and Dunk is there a few yards out to turn it home.

15:38 , Matt Verri

77 mins: March knocks the ball past Alexander-Arnold and Konate, runs through the middle of them and throws himself to the floor.

Gets the decision, free-kick Brighton in a great position out wide.

For a change...

15:36 , Matt Verri

15:35 , Matt Verri

74 mins: Liverpool counter down the left, Gravenberch plays it wide to Robertson.

First-time cross is a decent one, Nunez can’t quite rise high enough though and his header loops well over the bar.

15:33 , Matt Verri

72 mins: De Zerbi booked for his reaction to that decision - Klopp is the one giving him a hug and trying to calm things down.

“We want a replay” is the chant from the Brighton fans...

15:31 , Matt Verri

70 mins: Huge appeals for a Brighton penalty - waved away!

Mitoma and Pedro combine on the left, ball bobbles around and falls perfectly for Mitoma. His shot is going wide, until it smacks into the arm of Van Dijk.

Bounces up off his thigh. Can’t be giving that.

15:28 , Matt Verri

67 mins: Really good from Alexander-Arnold, at full stretch and he just about intercepts the ball over the top. Mitoma would have been clean through.

Szoboszlai then earns himself a booking, absolutely flies in right in front of De Zerbi. Yellow card for the Liverpool man.

15:26 , Matt Verri

65 mins: Gravenberch with a deflected effort, takes all the pace out of the shot and it’s a comfortable save.

Liverpool on top, Brighton struggling to pin the visitors back in their own half. Hasn’t really been much in the way of clear-cut chances for the Seagulls.

15:23 , Matt Verri

62 mins: And De Zerbi is going to be swiftly forced into another change.

Igor has gone down off the ball, he’s sitting down and shaking his head. Van Hecke coming on to partner Dunk at centre-back.

15:21 , Matt Verri

60 mins: Brighton turn to the bench for the first time.

Ferguson’s afternoon is over, he hasn’t really been able to get involved. Welbeck on for the final half an hour.

15:19 , Matt Verri

58 mins: Liverpool happy to slow things down a bit, keeping the ball at the back and in no rush to move forward.

Brighton have looked really dangerous all afternoon on the counter though, the Reds have to be more careful in midfield. Mac Allister in particularly has been pretty sloppy.

15:17 , Matt Verri

56 mins: Brighton corner, after good work from March. He’ll take it too.

Matip with the header, before Gravenberch completes the clearing job.

15:15 , Matt Verri

54 mins: WHAT A MISS!

Liverpool have to be 3-1 up. It’s a superb move, Brighton completely opened up.

Nunez slides in Szoboszlai, he plays the ball across the face of goal and Gravenberch somehow sends an effort against the bar from a matter of yards away.

15:12 , Matt Verri

51 mins: The hosts are starting to put the Liverpool defence under pressure again.

Pedro lays the ball off for Ferguson, edge of the area and he tries to curl a strike into the top corner. Always rising over the bar.

15:10 , Matt Verri

49 mins: More like it from Brighton.

Ferguson with a superb ball and Adingra is away on the right. Chops inside, Robertson beaten far too easily but Alisson comes to the rescue for Liverpool. Big save.

15:09 , Matt Verri

48 mins: Confident start to the half from Liverpool, they’ve been on top since the restart.

Nunez’s shot is deflected and spins away, Salah pokes the ball away from March but fortunately for Brighton, the left-back just about stops himself from bringing down the Liverpool winger.

Very close to another penalty!

Back underway!

15:06 , Matt Verri

Second-half is up and running!

Liverpool have made a change at the break, Gravenberch on to replace Elliott.

It had been a good start for Brighton...

15:01 , Matt Verri

14:57 , Matt Verri

One thing to note was that Gross wasn’t even booked for the foul that led to the penalty.

Szoboszlai was dragged down in the box, no attempt by Gross to play the ball. Decent argument that it could have been a red card, so for it to not even be a yellow is strange.

Brighton midfield a very lucky man...

Never in doubt!

14:53 , Matt Verri

HT: Brighton 1-2 Liverpool

14:49 , Matt Verri

And that’s half-time.

Brighton top for much of the opening period, in front and seemingly in charge.

But Salah has scored twice in a few minutes before the break to turn it around and suddenly Brighton have it all to do.

GOAL! Brighton 1-2 Liverpool | Mohamed Salah 45+1’

14:46 , Matt Verri

LIVERPOOL IN FRONT!

VAR confirm the penalty, Salah steps up and makes no mistake from the spot.

What a turnaround!

PENALTY LIVERPOOL!

14:45 , Matt Verri

Gross gets the ball from his goalkeeper in his own box, under huge pressure from Szoboszlai and he loses it.

The Brighton midfielder then drags Szoboszlai down, that’s a penalty.

Disaster for the Seagulls.

14:44 , Matt Verri

43 mins: Liverpool piling on the pressure all of a sudden.

Ball sent long into the box, Nunez wins the initial header and Diaz is not far away from getting on the end of it. He clatters into the goalkeeper in the process, both fine though.

GOAL! Brighton 1-1 Liverpool | Mohamed Salah 40'

14:41 , Matt Verri

OUT OF NOTHING!

Liverpool level five minutes before half-time.

Dunk with the loose pass and the visitors pounce. Nunez plays the ball towards Elliott, he lets it run for Salah and the Egyptian makes no mistake with the first-time finish.

14:40 , Matt Verri

39 mins: Lovely lay-off from Ferguson, Pedro pokes the ball away from Mac Allister and he wins a free-kick for Brighton in a great position. Just outside the area, nice angle for a right-footer. Maybe slightly close.

Dunk and March standing over it. It’s Dunk... it’s straight into the wall.

14:38 , Matt Verri

37 mins: Almost!

Brighton lose it deep in their own half, Szoboszlai with the first-time pass and Salah would have been clean through on goal.

Igor reads it brilliantly though, stepping across to intercept. Vital he did so.

14:36 , Matt Verri

34 mins: Long ball towards Diaz, Dunk sees it coming though and gives him a little shove. Good defending.

Brighton well on top right now, they look well capable of scoring a second goal. Liverpool offering very little in attack.

14:33 , Matt Verri

31 mins: Poor pass from Igor but it’s worked perfectly for Baleba, who has so much space in midfield.

Drives into the Liverpool half, all the way to the edge of the box. Has options up with him, but chops inside onto his left foot and drags a shot just wide of the post. Not far away at all.

14:30 , Matt Verri

29 mins: No surprise that this one is whipped in to Dunk, wins the header but can’t get enough on it. Alexander-Arnold boots it up the pitch.

Brighton swifltly back on the attack, Adingra slides a clever pass through to Mitoma but he loses his balance just as Alisson comes flying out to meet him.

14:29 , Matt Verri

27 mins: Gross tries his luck from outside the area, deflects behind for another Brighton corner.

Dunk the target again? Taken short this time, eventually clipped in and Alexander-Arnold nods it behind for another corner.

14:27 , Matt Verri

25 mins: Match has really opened up since that goal, and it was pretty open already.

Salah finds space for the shot in the box, blasts it straight into Igor’s face. He knew nothing about that.

Pedro then leads the Brighton counter, has numbers up with him but takes too long to make the pass and loses the ball.

14:24 , Matt Verri

23 mins: Diaz skips away from March, too good from the winger and he wins his side a corner.

Floated towards Van Dijk, but Brighton head it away and clear the danger. Yet again, Liverpool find themselves conceding the first goal.

GOAL! Brighton 1-0 Liverpool | Simon Adingra 20'

14:22 , Matt Verri

BRIGHTON IN FRONT!

Disastrous from Mac Allister on his return to the Amex. He’s robbed of the ball, Adingra pounces and the winger sees Alisson off his line, curling it low into the bottom corner.

Not great goalkeeping from Alisson - Brighton don’t care.

14:18 , Matt Verri

17 mins: Speaking of!

March does well on the left, he does find Mitoma and here comes the Brighton counter. Mac Allister unable to stay with him, commits the foul and that’s an easy decision for the referee.

14:16 , Matt Verri

14 mins: Gross dropping really deep when Brighton have the ball, almost like a third centre-back in the middle.

No real sign of Mitoma getting on the ball yet, he’ll be keen to have a run at Alexander-Arnold but Brighton unable to find him in the opening 15 minutes or so.

14:13 , Matt Verri

12 mins: Liverpool very nearly play their way into trouble, Brighton winning it back in the box.

Pedro has space, goes on the outside past Van Dijk but the cut-back into the middle is a tame one. Matip there to intercept and clear.

14:11 , Matt Verri

9 mins: Baleba flies in on Mac Allister - the Brighton midfielder is keen to make an impression early on. Maybe a bit too keen, feels like something rash isn’t too far away.

Verbruggen very calm playing out from the back, the goalkeeper is about a foot away from passing it straight to Salah and leaving him an open goal.

14:07 , Matt Verri

6 mins: Dunk nods it back into the six-yard box, Pedro’s shot is deflected behind. Third corner in a row to come, Brighton piling on the pressure.

Again it’s floated towards Dunk, this time Van Dijk sees it coming though and heads it out.

Liverpool flying up the pitch on the break, Nunez gets the better of Baleba. March across, brings Nunez down. Free-kick... frantic start to this match!

14:06 , Matt Verri

5 mins: It’s March playing on the left of a back-four for Brighton in the early stages.

They’ve got a corner to attack, as Gross’ free-kick to the back post is flicked behind. The defenders will stay up.

It’s brilliantly worked - so close to an opening goal! Flicked back to March, his shot is blocked and he can’t divert it back at goal when the ball falls to his feet again.

Another corner though...

14:04 , Matt Verri

3 mins: Both sides letting the centre-backs have the ball and then looking to pounce with the press when it’s played into midfield.

Brighton in particularly will try and play their way out from anywhere, so would imagine Liverpool will get chances to exploit that this afternoon.

KICK-OFF!

14:01 , Matt Verri

We are up and running at the Amex!

Here we go!

13:57 , Matt Verri

Teams are out onto the pitch.

Liverpool beaten on their last two visits to this ground, both in January at the start of the year. Need to find a way to change that this afternoon.

Klopp watching on closely as ever...

13:52 , Matt Verri

Not long now!

13:49 , Matt Verri

Warm-ups are done at the Amex.

Ten minutes or so to go until kick-off. Pretty much everyone expecting goals in this match, the one Brighton play almost guarantees that.

It was a 6-1 defeat to Aston Villa for the Seagulls in their last Premier League match - room for improvement!

Veltman in confident mood

13:44 , Matt Verri

De Zerbi on European challenges

13:37 , Matt Verri

Brighton’s superb year last season earned them European football, but their boss Roberto De Zerbi admits his side have not yet fully adapted to the challenge of a more hectic fixture list.

“It’s about habits,” De Zerbi said.

“We have to change our habits, but we will reach that point. It’s a target for us, to reach the level which we have to play every game, every week, three games (a week).

“I don’t know how much time we need, but that’s the target.”

More from the Liverpool boss...

Klopp: Brighton best coached team in the league

13:22 , Matt Verri

Liverpool were beaten twice at the Amex by Brighton last season in the space of a couple of weeks - Klopp his confident his side will produce a much better display this afternoon.

“If we play like we did last year, then we will get a massive knock again, but I think we will play better,” Klopp said. “That’s the first step.

“I am really looking forward to it, and we have to put a few things right. We should not let it happen again. It can - because they are really good - but we will do a really big try to make sure it does not.

“We expect a really tough game against one of the best sides in the league. They are probably the best coached team in the league. You always see Brighton’s football - it is incredible.”

Liverpool in the building!

13:17 , Matt Verri

13:11 , Matt Verri

A lot to unpick in that Brighton lineup!

Six changes from the Marseille match, with Baleba making his first home start and Igor handed a Premier League debut. Pedro, Mitoma and Ferguson all start, while it remains to be seen who lines up at left-back.

Could be March at left-back, could be a back-three... we shall see.

Liverpool have Nunez leading the line, with Gakpo and Jota both out. Alexander-Arnold fit to start, while Elliott comes into the midfield.

Everything points to goals

12:52 , Matt Verri

No sign has scored more goals than Brighton in the Premier League so far this season.

There are only four that have conceded more though - it’s very rarely boring when the Seagulls are involved.

Liverpool in fine goalscoring form themselves... cue a 0-0.

How it stands

12:44 , Matt Verri

Victory for Liverpool this afternoon will move them up to second in the Premier League, just a point behind Tottenham. That could of course swiftly change, with Arsenal to take on Man City later today.

Brighton go into this match only a point off Liverpool, so they can move above Jurgen Klopp’s side. Three points for the Seagulls would take them into third for the time being.

Anyone’s match...

12:39 , Matt Verri

Two sides well-capable of serving up entertainment and it’s very difficult to split them this afternoon.

The latest odds for the match give a fairly clear indication of just how evenly matched they are...

Brighton - 21/10

Draw - 3/1

Liverpool - 21/20

Odds via Betway.

Perfect afternoon for it!

12:29 , Matt Verri

Eventful week!

12:23 , Matt Verri

Brighton come into this match off the back of picking up their first European point.

The Seagulls were two goals down away to Marseille on Thursday in the Europa League, but responded superbly to battle back into the game and earn a draw in France.

Here’s some highlights from that clash...

Seagulls have arrived!

Premier League will reject Liverpool replay request as sports lawyer weighs in

12:04 , Jonathan Gorrie

The Premier League will resist calls from Jurgen Klopp to replay Liverpool‘s controversial defeat by Tottenham.

Liverpool were this morning yet to make a formal approach to the Premier League but Klopp believes a replay is the “right thing” to do.

A sports lawyer has told Standard Sport that Liverpool face an “uphill battle” to legally claim they have grounds for a replay. But Jonathan Bamber, Liverpool’s general counsel and director of football administration and governance, has been exploring the club’s options.

Klopp believes the result of the match, which Spurs won 2-1, should be declared void after VAR failed to award a legitimate Luis Diaz goal wrongly flagged offside.

The Premier League would reject any request for a replay on the grounds of the precedent it would set. Replays were ruled out after other errors that cost teams points in the past, such as when Sheffield United were denied a goal against Aston Villa in 2020 when goalline technology failed to function.

Under Premier League regulations, the only possible recourse is to escalate the matter via a Premier League arbitration process. Liverpool’s options are limited by the Premier League not recognising the Court of Arbitration for Sport, meaning the club can only elevate any case to law courts in London.

IFAB, the international lawmakers, state a match is not invalidated because of VAR mistakes.

Mohit Pasricha, of law firm Lawrence Stephens, told Standard Sport: “Liverpool are ultimately facing an uphill battle to succeed in any legal claim. Any case would need to establish whether human error directly affected the outcome of the game, which is not evident, or potentially Liverpool’s final position at the end of the season, which can’t be determined now.

“Allowing a successful claim based on human error could set a dangerous precedent, potentially opening the floodgates for other clubs to make similar challenges, making it highly improbable for any such claim to prevail.”

Jurgen Klopp lays out Ryan Gravenberch plan after first Liverpool goal

11:43 , Jonathan Gorrie

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp spoke of his delight at Ryan Gravenberch scoring his first goal for the club in the Europa League.

The £34million signing from Bayern Munich rolled the ball home from inside the six-yard box after a major Union Saint-Gilloise error to set the Reds up for a 2-0 win at Anfield on Thursday.

Prediction: Liverpool to win 2-1

11:35 , Jonathan Gorrie

The fairly inconsistent start to the Seagulls’ season makes this a tough one to predict but Liverpool want to assert themselves as genuine title contenders, and can do just that with a win on the south coast.
