Harvey Elliott admitted he was "lost for words" after Liverpool suffered another defeat at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion - this time with practically the last kick of their FA Cup fourth round tie.
Kaoru Mitoma, who was at his scintillating best when the Reds were beaten 3-0 by the Seagulls earlier this month, kept his composure to fire a well-taken goal past Alisson Becker in the 93rd minute. The goal stemmed from Liverpool's failure to clear their lines from an earlier set piece.
For the Reds, it means their defence of the trophy they ended a 16-year wait to win last season is over and they will now be left to compete in just the Premier League and Champions League as they attempt to salvage a torrid campaign at Anfield.
