The game started at a very fast pace that favoured Brighton as they took the lead after just four minutes. Gross and Welbeck combined in the box before Trossard sent Alexander-Arnold the wrong way and shot into the bottom right corner. Trossard then scored again to double Brighton's lead 14 minutes later. Alexander-Arnold miscontrolled the ball in his own half and lost possession to Caicedo. The midfielder passed to Gross on the edge of the box, who then played Trossard in behind for the Belgian to get his second. Alisson made two huge saves to stop Brighton from running away with the game before Firmino pulled one back for Liverpool following a poor touch from Salah. Firmino then got his second of the game in the 54th minute after chopping the ball past Dunk and slotting it into the corner as Sanchez stood and watched. Liverpool then took the lead as Alexander-Arnold's corner was punched into Webster by his own goalkeeper. Brighton did not give up as Trossard secured his hat-trick as he swung his left foot at the ball following a good cross from Mitoma to make it 3-3 in the 83rd minute.
