Liverpool drops two points away at Brighton in a 1-1 draw at Amex Stadium

Liverpool go top of the league, though they won’t feel like celebrating after a frustrating afternoon at the Amex Stadium.

Klopp will not be a happy man as his side had two goals ruled out for offside – albeit the correct decisions, it must be said – and also lost Milner to a hamstring injury.

The reigning champions are a point clear at the top of the Premier League but are expected to drop by the time the rest of this weekend’s games are played. Brighton stay in 16th, now six points above the relegation zone.

Jota fired the visitors in front with an hour played after Maupay had missed a first-half penalty, but Brighton equalised through a 93rd-minute Gross penalty after Robertson was deemed to have fouled Welbeck in the box. 

Liverpool have faced two penalties in a Premier League game for the first time since February 2018 v Tottenham.
