Liverpool suffer FA Cup heartbreak as Brighton snatch last-gasp win - 5 talking points

Liverpool crashed out of the FA Cup with a dramatic late 2-1 defeat at Brighton courtesy of Kauro Mitoma's late winner.

Both sides had chances in the opening stages as Mohamed Salah came mightily close for the Reds before Irish hotshot Evan Ferguson saw his effort cleared off the line. But it would be Liverpool who took the lead midway through the first half through Harvey Elliott's well-taken strike.

The Seagulls showed great character to grow back into the game and responded with a leveller, albeit in rather fortunate circumstances as Tariq Lamptey's shot was deflected home by Lewis Dunk. Roberto de Zerbi's side then should've taken the lead in the 70th minute but Solly March's shot was well saved by Alisson as both teams tried to win it.
