Liverpool were denied a dramatic comeback victory by a Leandro Trossard treble as Roberto de Zerbi enjoyed a memorable Brighton debut at Anfield.
The Seagulls enjoyed a perfect start with the Belgian winger scoring twice within the opening 17 minutes. Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino gave the hosts hope ahead of half-time as he latched onto Mohamed Salah 's ball and slammed home, with the VAR overturning the referee's initial offside call. The Brazilian then hauled the Reds level after the interval after combining with Luis Diaz.
Anfield was on its feet once again as Adam Webster put through his own net to seemingly secure victory for Liverpool. Trossard was not done there, though, as he secured the matchball with another lethal finish.
