Highlights.
MOTM: Kaoru Mitoma.
In what is his 300th Premier League appearance (Chelsea 13, Liverpool 287), Mohamed Salah is starting a game as captain for the very first time in the competition.
There were 105 touches in the oppositions box in tonight’s game between Brighton (60) and Liverpool (45). Only one Premier League game on record (since 2008-09) has seen more with that being Manchester City (104) v Luton (9) in April 2024 (113).
Liverpool are the first side to be crowned Premier League champions and then fail to win their next three games in the competition in the same season (D1 L2).
Liverpool have lost a Premier League game having led at half time for the first time since December 2016 (a 4-3 loss at Bournemouth), ending their run of 156 games without defeat when leading at the break (W142 D14).
Having lost four of their first five Premier League home games against Liverpool (D1), Brighton are now unbeaten in their last three against the Reds at the Amex Stadium in the competition.
Brighton lost 2-0 to Manchester United in their final home league game of 2023-24, but haven’t done so in consecutive campaigns since a run of three between 2005-06 and 2007-08.
Before tonight, Liverpool haven’t lost their final away league game in any of the last six campaigns (W4 D2) since a 1-0 loss to Chelsea in 2017-18. Their last two have seen 14 goals scored in total – a 4-4 draw with Southampton in 2022-23 and a 3-3 stalemate with Aston Villa last season.
This was the first time Liverpool have lost a Premier League game in which they had taken the lead on two separate occasions since April 2004 vs Arsenal (4-2).
Brighton have lost just one of their last eight Premier League home games (W4 D2), going down 3-0 against Aston Villa in April.
