Liverpool added a new victory, this time, at home against Brighton, a rival they had already faced and defeated in the EFL Cup a few days ago with a goal from Luis Díaz.
On Saturday, November 2, coach Arne Slot made the decision that Cody Gakpo would be the first baseman, leaving Luis Díaz relegated to the substitute bench.
The game began and the surprise came in the 14th minute from the feet of Ferdi Kadioglu, who committed a strong shot to score the first for his team.
Liverpool, unable to find space, remained calm and despite the intensity shown by Brighton, did not allow the difference to become greater.
Already in the second half, the strategist made the decision that Luis Díaz would have action from the 66th minute. Immediately, an improvement was seen in the reeds, who in the 69th minute equalized the score with a score by Cody Gakpo.
Luis Díaz entered and Liverpool improved significantly
With partial equality, Liverpool were inspired and three minutes later, in a counterattack, Mohamed Salah scored a great goal that put the red team up 2-1.
The intensity of the game decreased in the final minutes, while Liverpool already controlled the game in their favor with victory in their hands.
With this 2-1 result, Liverpool rose to first position in the table with a total of 25 points, surpassing the 23 that Manchester City registered after the defeat against Bournemouth.
Liverpool’s next match will be against Bayer Leverkusen for the fourth round of the Champions League this Tuesday, November 5, starting at 3:00 pm (Colombian time).
