Liverpool kept the head on league-leaders Manchester City as they inflicted a fifth successive league defeat on Brighton.
Pre-match talk had been dominated by talk of Salah’s ongoing contract stand-off, with talks reported to have stalled due to the player’s wage demands. Sanchez, guilty of a dangerous high boot, was not even booked following a VAR review. Tariq Lamptey came close to setting up Neal Maupay for the opener, the Seagulls forward struggling to connect, and Leandro Trossard forced Alisson off his line as he latched on to a through ball to threaten the Reds – but Brighton’s perennial lack of a cutting edge shone through yet again.

The goal took the wind out of our sails a little bit, especially with the run we're on and them being Liverpool. Credit to the boys they stuck in there. "It's a very good example of the issues we have with VAR. Mike Dean sees the goal and maybe isn't even thinking about a red card as the assistant referee is looking for offside. "It's not a happy camp when you lose, but we just need to focus on the next game. You'd have been hard pushed to find a single soul who thought the arrival of Luis Diaz would push even Sadio Mane and Salah into the shade. To get in there with his head it was really brave. VAR, with Stuart Attwell on duty, did review the incident but decided the goalkeeper's high tackle on the Colombian wasn't even worthy of sending referee Dean to the monitor to assess whether serious foul play had occurred. They have now won just three of their last 24 matches in all competitions (90 minutes only) as the pressure starts to increase on their manager. The Liverpool forward walked away with no serious injury and despite a VAR review Sanchez's challenge was deemed not worthy of a red card. VAR is part of the team of referees and not someone from the outside who thinks he might embarrass the referee with his decision. So, for what reason could it not be a red card then? "He did what a striker had to do," Klopp said. Brighton, who started brightly but faded, should have equalised just after half-time but Leandro Trossard skied an effort over the bar from close range.

manages to find the space between all of them. Jota was waiting for a tap-in had he looked up - Klopp makes that point rather clearly from the touchline. However, VAR review ruled there was no serious foul play from the goalkeeper. Liverpool moved to within three points of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table with a comfortable 2-0 win over Brighton. The lead was doubled by Mohamed Salah after the break from the penalty spot, as Brighton suffered a fifth straight defeat and Liverpool kept the pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side ahead of their trip to Selhurst Park on Monday. Liverpool moved within touching distance of Manchester City at the summit of the Premier League after a 2-0 win at Brighton.

It comes back to AA again and he goes for goal, trying it on the outside of his right foot. Brighton came out sharp and lively, with a handful of chances in the first 15 minutes. Fabinho with a terrific ball into Henderson on the right channel. Salah with a looping shot, inside the Brighton box, after the Seagulls fail to clear. The cross comes in from the left and Danny Welbeck gets his shot away. Dean immediately signaled for a penalty and Salah does not miss from the spot. The former Liverpool man came on at half time and lasted all of five minutes, substituted himself after suffering a hamstring problem. Which is an alarming prospect for the rest of the League. And while Diaz may have been the exemplar, everywhere Liverpool assumed ascendancy. And, much to Klopp’s confusion, Var did not feel there was a clear and obvious error in the referee’s assessment. And while Brighton struggled to find the net, goals are a very different matter for Klopp’s players. Despite the looming proximity of the Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez, his touch was both subtle and accurate. As his long ball arced precisely into the area, Luis Diaz dashed in and bravely headed it goalwards.

Neal Maupay lets fly from the edge of the box but his low effort just zips past the post. He's not even gone for the ball AND it's dangerous play! 22min: Diaz is ok to continue by the way following that challenge. 46min: Much more like it from Brighton as they create a good chance within a minute of the restart. He has options either side of him but attempting to go it alone he can only fire a weak and low effort straight at Sanchez. 36min: After the first 15 minutes, you may have been weighing up the prospect of this being an off day for Liverpool. They are well on it now though. Not the easiest shot to adjust for. 59min: Bissouma handles a shot from Naby Keita and it results in a an easy spot-kick to give. His body is clearly outside of the box, his hands though? Neal Maupay leaves some small afters on Alisson after pressing the keeping ahead of his clearance and is booked for his troubles. Potter introduced former Liverpool player Adam Lallana at half-time but he lasted only eight minutes before he had to disappear with a hamstring problem. Sanchez was not punished with a red card despite a VAR check but that was controversial.

Salah picks up a loose ball in the box, steps inside a defender and tries to pass the ball into the far corner. The shot deflects up into the air and comes down onto the frame of the goal. Keita volleys a shot from the edge of the box and Bissouma blocks it with an arm. Salah reacted the quickest to a loose ball in the box and tried to place an effort into the far corner. Mane swivels and volleys the rebound but the ball goes over and into the away contingent behind the goal. Liverpool come forward again and Jordan Henderson lines up a shot from outside of the box. The Colombian races into the box with Jota to his right, but Sanchez comes out of his goal to stifle the attack just before a shot came in. Danny Welbeck gets in front of the defender and shoots goalwards, but Alisson makes a wonderful reaction save to tip it over the bar. His shot deflected up and onto the top of the crossbar, before Mane fired over the rebound. They take a comfortable 2-0 victory on the South Coast, and reduce the deficit at the top of the Premier League to just three points once again. Maupay did well down the right to hold off two defenders and tee up Trossard on the edge of the box, but the Belgian smashed an effort over.

DAZN subscribers can watch every single Premier League game in 2021/22 – and it gets better.

A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. It will be interesting to see which three players Klopp opts for in attack. However, Liverpool still found a way to emerge victorious. The gap currently stands at six points, but Jurgen Klopp's side have a game in hand on the champions - and there is still one head-to-head meeting between the pair to come.
