Alan Shearer has blasted Liverpool for their 'dreadful' performance against Brighton. Roberto De Zerbi's side ran out 3-0 winners against Jurgen Klopp's side, with Solly March grabbing a brace in the second-half and Danny Welbeck adding a third in the dying embers of the game.
The former Newcastle United striker heaped praise on the Seagulls who moved above Liverpool into seventh place on 30 points. The Magpies have a seven point cushion over Jurgen Klopp's side in eighth, but saw their lead to Brighton cut to five points.
The result is somewhat of a boost for Eddie Howe's side, who could create further daylight between themselves and the chasing pack with a win over Fulham this weekend. The Toon ran out 4-1 winners over the Cottagers back in October and are full of confidence heading into the tie.
