Liverpool missed the opportunity to surpass Man City 2
(Dan Tri) – Brighton created a fair match with Liverpool and received a result of 2-2.
Although Brighton just lost a shocking 1-6 to Aston Villa last week, Liverpool understands that they cannot rely on the Amex home team’s stumble to evaluate the current strength of this team.
Indeed, De Zerbi’s team quickly returned to good form at Amex’s home field when they received Liverpool in round 8 of the Premier League.

Liverpool controlled the ball a little better than Brighton (54% of the time – 48% of the time), but both teams had 14 shots and the accuracy was equal (Liverpool had 4 shots on target, Brighton had 3).
The two teams entered the game a bit cautiously, which made their attacks ineffective.
Suddenly, in the 20th minute, Adingra rushed up to steal the ball from McAllister while goalkeeper Alisson had not yet returned to the goal.
After the goal, Brighton played more offensively than Liverpool.
4 minutes later, Brighton’s defender and goalkeeper passed the ball subjectively in the penalty area, leading to Liverpool stealing the ball.

The first minutes of the second half were exciting.
Having the lead, Liverpool played defensive counter-attack and created many dangerous opportunities, unfortunately the away team’s strikers did not know how to take advantage.

In the 78th minute, March took a free kick with a hanging ball into the penalty area. Dunk escaped to cushion the ball at close range, leaving Alisson standing still.
Brighton had a chance to score a third goal in the 83rd minute. Unfortunately, although Pedro comfortably cushioned the ball at a distance of only about 10 meters, the shot angle was wide, but the ball went over the bar.
