Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool have to 'play better football' after Brighton defeat

Brighton beat Liverpool at the Amex to knock out the FA Cup holders after Japanese winger Kaoru Mitoma scored a brilliant late winner.

Harvey Elliott had put Liverpool in front before Brighton equalised with a stroke of fortune when Tariq Lamptey’s shot was deflected home by Lewis Dunk, making it level at the break following an entertaining first half.

Both sides created chances to win it in the second period but it was Mitoma who finally delivered the quality required, taking a calm touch before flicking the ball away from a defender and steering it into the far corner past Alisson to spark bedlam at the Amex and send Brighton into the fifth-round draw.
