Liverpool, despite their poor start to the match, came back against Brighton (2-1), this Sunday at Anfield, and provisionally rose to first place in the English Premier League table before the stellar Manchester City-Arsenal clash 3:30 p.m. GMT.
The ‘Reds’ have 67 points after this twentieth victory of the season in the Premier, three points more than Arsenal and four more than City, while ‘Citizens’ and ‘Gunners’ will face each other at the Etihad in Manchester .
Jürgen Klopp’s team constantly put pressure on Roberto de Zerbi, one of the coaches rumored to replace the German on the Anfield bench next season.
Brighton, ninth in the table, lost the battle for possession, its strong point, and barely bothered the Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, beyond the goal scored 87 seconds into the game, by Danny Welbeck.
The ‘Seagulls’ managed to withstand Liverpool’s offensive downpour until the 27th minute, when Colombian Luis Díaz (27) equalized from a corner.
Supported by their fans, Liverpool continued to trap their rival thanks to the work of Argentine Alexis Mac Allister, formerly of Brighton.
The winning goal came from a pass from the Argentine world champion between two players to the Egyptian Mohamed Salah (65), who scored his 16th league goal this season.
Liverpool will reappear on Thursday at Anfield to host bottom team Sheffield United.
