[[[live stream!!]]@@] Brighton Hove Albion - Liverpool
Joel Matip, Andy Robertson, and Jordan Henderson looked steps off the pace. Cody Gakpo… well, we learned he was out there when he nearly got Liverpool back in business with 20 minutes to play. Brilliant Brighton flies the flag for talent identification. And let’s credit Brighton for the above, too. The Seagulls exposed Liverpool with pace, electricity, and effort. The tactics were there, too, as De Zerbi flexed his depth without wantaway Leandro Trossard and with 18-year-old Evan Ferguson continuing to make a bright case in attack.
Brighton moves ahead of Liverpool into seventh place with 30 points. Both teams have played 18 matches and the Seagulls are two points clear of the Reds and five points off fourth-place Newcastle United.

Given their spending, losing to Brentford by two, drawing Wolves, and losing to Brighton by three consecutively just shouldn’t happen to this club.
