Liverpool 2-1 Brighton: Mohamed Salah seals quick-fire comeback on dramatic day in Premier League title race | OneFootball

Reds come from behind to beat spirited Seagulls at Anfield

Brighton started the brighter of the two sides at Anfield and went ahead through Ferdi Kadioglu after just 14 minutes.

A driving run from Kaoru Mitoma fell to Kadioglu who hit a stunning strike to send the visitors ahead. Brighton nearly doubled their lead when Georginio Rutter went clean through, but his shot was saved by Caoimhin Kelleher.

The Seagulls held a deserved lead at half-time, with Liverpool forced into a change as Ibrahima Konate went off and Joe Gomez replacing him.

Gomez nearly made an instant impact with his header but it went straight at goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. The home side then spurned further chances through first Virgil van Dijk and then Salah.

However, in the space of just two minutes they were ahead.

Just 12 seconds later, Salah was curling a left-footed strike into the goal at the Kop ahead to spark wild celebrations.

Liverpool held on as Brighton tried to find a late equaliser and can enjoy a successful weekend with City and Arsenal both dropping points.
