Brighton faced Liverpool at the Falmer Stadium this Wednesday night in the Premier League. We have the player ratings.
Liverpool have fallen seven points behind Manchester City after suffering a surprising defeat against an up-and-coming Brighton team. Nevertheless, the result was only a surprise to the fans who failed to watch the game. In fact, Klopp’s squad only managed to produce a single shot on target during the full 90-minute match.
Graham Potter’s side showed incredible maturity on the pitch against Liverpool this Wednesday. The Seagulls’ manager must be proud of his players after they offered the Reds a masterclass in defense. In fact, the team managed to secure their first win since 1982 against the Reds. Moreover, Brighton always looked like they had the upper hand and their high pressing left the current champions in complete shambles.
Therefore, Alzate‘s goal in the second half seemed only natural and fair. The play began with an impressive long-pass from March that found Burn in the box. The left-back then proceeded to head the ball into the penalty box and Alzate was lucky enough to score his first Premier League goal.
Jurgen Klopp will have a huge headache tonight as he tries and pick up the pieces of his shattered defense. Liverpool’s manager will have to count on new club signings Kabak and Davies as the Reds prepare a make-or-break clash against Manchester City on Sunday.
