LIVERPOOL STUN BRIGHTON IN EPIC COMEBACK - What REALLY Happened at Anfield?

Liverpool were in danger of surrendering more ground to their Premier League title rivals, but a remarkable second-half turnaround at Anfield ensured that the gap to the top remained intact. Trailing 1-0 at the interval, Jurgen Klopp’s men roared to life after the break, sparking pandemonium among the home support with two goals in as many minutes.

Cody Gakpo’s precise finish provided the equaliser, sparking renewed hope of salvaging a vital three points. With the momentum now firmly in their grasp, the Reds swiftly capitalised on their regained footing, as Mohamed Salah capitalised on some lacklustre Brighton defending to send Anfield into raptures.

The strike proved the defining moment, as Klopp’s men rode the resultant wave of confidence to ultimately seal a 2-1 victory over the Seagulls. As events elsewhere unfolded in their favour, thanks in part to a rare Manchester City setback, the implications of their recovery were far-reaching, restoring ground against their title rivals that had seemed lost just hours earlier.

Tipped to mount a more sustained challenge against a resolute Brighton outfit, Liverpool ultimately relied on a frenetic spell of attacking fervour to kickstart their faltering campaign. Sapped of the effervescence that’s characterised their earlier work under Klopp, a spirited second period served as an affirmation that the capacity to conjure brilliance on the fly remains integral to their arsenal.
