Liverpool clashed heads with Brighton and Hove Albion at the American Express Community Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Reds made a slow start to the game and conceded the opening goal in the 14th minute when Danny Welbeck found the back of the net. However, Milos Kerkez equalised for the visitors in the 30th minute as the two teams went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.
Welbeck scored again for the home team in the 56th minute as Arne Slot’s men crashed to a disappointing 2-1 loss away from home.
