Alexis Mac Allister did Liverpool supporters a huge favour last night by potentially opening the door for a Champions League place.
A dramatic 99th-minute penalty after a VAR check was buried with aplomb and enough to earn Brighton a 1-0 win over Manchester United. While Seagulls fans celebrated, there were also cheers from the red half of Merseyside as the top-four race took another twist.
As it stands, Liverpool are now four points behind the Red Devils - despite playing a game more. Liverpool need a capitulation from either Man United or Newcastle United if they are to continue their six-year stay at Europe’s top table.
