A fiery west Midlands derby. Red Bull’s Adrian Newey, celebrating his 25th championship as the genius car designer, says: “this has been one of the easier ones, Max Verstappen has been absolutely exceptional.” The Hammers stop PSQ conquerors. A big day of PL action, with this one the big one. Here’s Jonathan Wilson’s report from the Amex Stadium. Brighton‘s Lewis Dunk spoke to Sky: I think we were the better side throughout and then we had a funny five minutes. We have got to be better than that. We have shown great character to come back and get the draw.” Sloppiness from us [let Liverpool take the lead]. I gave the ball away cheaply and they capitalised on that. We have to keep improving, keep learning and get better. After the defeat we have come back and got the draw today. It’s just that final bit that the moment. We are a little bit off. Other Premier League scores West Ham 2-2 Newcastle Wolves 1-1 Aston Villa Peter Campbell: “After seeing so many red cards in Liverpool’s last fixtures, I have to ask: why was there no card on the penalty? Do we no longer give cards for clear and obvious goal scoring opportunities? I’m just so confused as to what is a card and what isn’t.” Feels like you’re not alone. Let’s wait for Howard Webb’s apology. Full-time: Brighton 2-2 Liverpool Klopp and De Zerbi and are deep in conversation after a huge hug. The right result, you’d say. Brighton were all over Liverpool, who may rue missing the chances they had before Dunk’s equaliser. Brighton meanwhile will bemoan Joao Pedro’s late miss. 90+4 min: A booking for Baleba for a tactical foul. Liverpool waste the free-kick get the ball back, only for Danny Welbeck to clear…it’s the last action of the game. 90-3 min: All Liverpool but Brighton looking to the counter. Out goes Alisson to smash the ball when Fati was the recipient of a long pass. Then Fati and Welbeck gets caught at crossed purposes. 90+2 min: Jurgen Klopp continues to look peeved. Vital points are in danger of being coughed up. At least Gomez gets in a decent tackle on Mitoma for once. 90 min: Liverpool enjoying possession for what feels the first time in a while. There will be four minutes added on here… 89 min: Brighton sub: Joao Pedro off, Ansu Fati on…Mo Salah, meanwhile, has a shot blocked. 88 min: Robertson plays in Diaz, but his shot flies miles wide. 87 min: March’s free-kick can only find Danny Welbeck’s miskick. 86 min: Winner takes all here, next goal wins…Robertson, trying to make up for the goal, fizzes in a cross. Then Mitoma skips on and is fouled by Gomez, who is booked. Another free-kick in a dangerous position. 84 min: March and Mitoma double-teaming down the left is causing big problems. Adingra on the other flank has been similarly dangerous, and his pass finds Joao Pedro but he skies it….De Zerbi, hands still in pocket, screams into the Sussex skies. 82 min: Mac Allister scythes down Joao Pedro and Brighton have a free-kick in the same position as their equaliser…Gross tries to take the acute angle and hits the wall. Get it in the mixer, lad! 81 min: Jurgen Klopp, still in t-shirt, looks peeved once more. His team have not played well aside from those five minutes at the end of the first half. 80 min: Liverpool make a sub that was surely pre-planned, even if that was terrible defending. Joe Gomez replaces Trent Alexander Arnold. Goal! Brighton 2-2 Liverpool (Dunk, 78) March’s cross….Robertson gets caught in a mess, reluctant to use his right foot and Dunk pokes home. 76 min: There’s a little less energy in this half as compared to the first, which stands to reason. Adingra, who has looked so dangerous and direct causes problems, and so soes Solly March, who wins a free-kick off the left-hand side of the box. 74 min: Diaz and Adingra engaged in a chase of road runner v Wile E Coyote proportions, each trying to press the other into oblivion. 72 min: Liverpool sub: looks like Matip was hurt in that Mitoma collision and on comes Konate. 70 min: The Brighton fans chant for a replay… 69 min: Chaotic scenes as Mitoma escapes from Alexander-Arnold. Mitoma has a swing at the ball and it hits Virgil van Dijk’s hand. A natural position? Hmm, if you like. Roberto De Zerbi has gone radio rental and gets booked, with Jurgen Klopp trying to calm him down. 67 min: Szoboszlai receives the first booking of the game, a hefty lunge on Solly March receiving the commensurate punishment. 66 min: Alisson comes out very deep to exchange passes. This sweeper-keeper thing is all the rage now and he has to sprint back a ball out to Mitoma is only just stopped by Alexander-Arnold. 64 min: Liverpool pushing up and pushing on, trying to cut Brighton off at source. Mac Allister again steps into the attack, and Gravenberch gets a chance to shoot. He can’t keep it down. 62 min: A break in play for injury, as Igor leaves his Premier League debut, and on comes Van Hecke to play alongside Lewis Dunk. 61 min: Brighton sub: Welbeck replaces Ferguson. 60 min: Matt gets in touch: “Just a note on the irony (as a Union Saint-Gilloise fan) that adingra scored today against Liverpool just a few days after we played Liverpool in the Europa League - he was one of our stars as we got to the Europa League quarters last year, on loan from Brighton for a year before being brought into the Brighton team. We could have done with him on Thursday! “Mitoma took exactly the same path the season before (and tore the Belgian league apart during his year with us). Adingra is fantastic, probably not quite Mitoma level of exciting but an excellent passer and capable of finishing well himself. I think (and hope) he’ll do well at Brighton.” 58 min: Mac Allister, who has struggled against his old club, steps up. He’s had so many firefights to put out. 56 min: Mitoma and Gross send away March down the line but the ball is cleared. There are calls for a Liverpool handball. Nothing given. 55 min: It’s end to end stuff…March forces a corner by pressing as deep as possible. 54 min: Liverpool hit the post! Szoboszlai speeds to the line, plays the ball to the back post and Gravenberch – somehow – can’t direct it into the net. 53 min: Mitoma and Matip collide, the Liverpool defender having read the ball to cut off an attack. 51 min: Evan Ferguson gets a sighter, laid on for him by Joao Pedro, but can’t keep the ball on target. 49 min: Close….Adingra speeds way beyond a labouring Robertson and forces a fine save from Alisson who looks to have damaged himself in making that save. Adingra looks absolutely mustard. 48 min: Nunez swings a leg at the ball, and then it spins to Salah. Solly March runs in but restrains himself from making a foul on Salah. 47 min: Evan Ferguson, quiet in the first half, is flagged offside. It looked…debatable. 46 min: The second half begins with Ryan Gravenberch replacing Harvey Elliot for Liverpool. Something needed to change in that midfield, even if Liverpool did take the lead. Half-time: Brighton 1-2 Liverpool Game of 40 minutes then another five. Liverpool were all over the show and then sprang into life just as it seemed Brighton’s zest and smothering tactics had the beating of them. Mo Salah his ever reliable stuff in front of goal. It’s been a great game so far, more of the same, please! 45+2 min: Three minutes were added on there. 45+1 min: Brighton rather architects of their own downfall, being picked off in the fashion that is so popular now, using the press to force mistakes. Goal! Brighton 1-2 Liverpool (Salah, 45 pen) Bottom left, no problem and Liverpool lead a game that was running away from them. Penalty to Liverpool! 43 min: Ooof…collision between Nunez and Verbruggen. And then, more chaos descends. Verbruggen tries to play out. Szoboszlai is fouled by Gross…shirt pulled, VAR takes a look. For luck, Diaz was fouled in the aftermath. 41 min: Brighton’s defence, reconfigured, rather lost its organisation for the goal. Goal! Brighton 1-1 Liverpool (Salah, 40) Jurg is far happier now…his team find their step at last. Szoboszlai to Diaz, lovely ball inside, stepover from Elliott and Salah finishes. The away drought is over. That was incisive, the Liverpool attack at its very best. 39 min: Jurgen Klopp, in t-shirt, guns out, looks peeved. 37 min: Mac Allister, not the quickest, trips up a galloping Joao Pedro. Free-kick, for which Mac Allister has to play the draught-excluder role. It’s taken by Dunk, walloped into the midriffs of the wall.
