Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp claimed it was "tough to accept" his side's defending the Reds fell to a fourth-round FA Cup exit at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon.
Liverpool initially looked to be on their way to the fifth round having taken the lead through Harvey Elliott. Their lead lasted just nine minutes though with Lewis Dunk equalising for Brighton as he deflected Tariq Lamptey's effort from range home.
The Reds would then be condemned to their second defeat in three weeks at the AMEX Stadium as Kaoru Mitoma turned home a brilliant solo effort in stoppage time. Whilst recognising his side were much better than in the embarrassing defeat to the Seagulls a matter of weeks ago, Klopp was highly critical of the way his side defended during the clash - a big contributor to their elimination.
