Brighton 2, Liverpool 1: Man Of The Match

Well, it wasn’t absolutely terrible at least? Liverpool showed some signs of life this time out against Brighton, proving to be able to cause some problems on the counter. Harvey Elliott played both provider and finisher throughout the first half, and managed to tuck away the opening goal of the match after a great run. Ibrahima Konaté was immense (literally and figuratively) all match long in defense. He used his speed to good effect with covering runs as well as stepping up for challenges, and played some sumptuous long passes out of the back. Alisson was his usual assured self in net, making a couple of brave saves in difficult situations. There was literally nothing he could have done with either goal conceded by the Reds.
