The sight of Danny Welbeck rattling Brighton and Hove Albion into a second-minute lead was not an ideal start to a crucial period in Liverpool’s season but Jurgen Klopp must have been pleased with how his side reacted.

Liverpool hit 14 shots in the first half at Anfield today, including Luis Diaz’s 27th-minute equaliser.

Mohamed Salah, who certainly did not enjoy his most clinical game in a red shirt, duly put Liverpool ahead on 65 minutes with what turned out to be the winner.

Here are the key talking points from the game …

How do Liverpool keep pulling off these comebacks?

No Premier League team has won more points from losing positions this season than Liverpool and going back to that well eventually brought another forward step towards the title they covet.

This was the seventh time Liverpool have recorded a comeback victory in their 29 league games of 2023-24, making them the standout reactive side in a season that looks set to see more comeback wins than any previous Premier League campaign.

Klopp would dearly like to see his side record more routine victories on the run-in but there is no questioning the resolve of this team.

There were no doubts revealed, especially not once Luis Diaz drew his side level midway through the first half.

Liverpool were not a polished force in attack but the tempo of their play, driving forward and pinning Brighton back, always promised the winner that eventually came through Mohamed Salah’s calm finish in front of the Kop with 25 minutes of the 90 to go.

Another big win and another show of belief once adversity had come along.

Why are Brighton such tough opponents for Liverpool?

There has been something about Brighton to trouble Liverpool in recent years.

They continue to be one of Jurgen Klopp’s greatest irritants, something close to a domestic-football kryptonite.

The seven Premier League meetings that preceded this one had returned just one Liverpool win (in May 2022) and including the FA Cup tie last season, won 2-1 by Brighton, there is a lengthening sequence of struggle.

The early indications were that this would be another awkward challenge.

Seven attempts on goal, all in the first half, came before the Egyptian emerged as Liverpool’s matchwinner in the 65th minute, with a calm finish beyond goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen.

It was Salah’s 16th Premier League goal of the season (it’s 22 for Liverpool in all competitions) and enough to again elevate the forward for acclaim.

Time and again, he has been Liverpool’s goalscoring hero in the past six years but for long periods of this game it was an unusually profligate showing.

Salah needed little encouragement to try his luck as Liverpool’s attacking figurehead but his accuracy was lacking for more than an hour.

There were more missed opportunities in the second half as Salah was twice denied by the saves of Verbruggen but an entertaining game’s defining moment belonged to Liverpool’s top scorer.

A deft pass from Alexis Mac Allister, the stylish former Brighton midfielder who shone throughout, picked out the movement of Salah inside the box and a composed finish, with his body opened up, finally got Liverpool’s nose in front.

But with 12 shots overall in the game — the most by any player in a single Premier League game since 2016 and the most Salah has ever recorded in his 254 appearances in the competition — Klopp will hope that their main man rediscovers his clinical edge in the coming weeks.

A three-point lead at the top of the Premier League table will not last with Manchester City hosting Arsenal later this afternoon but this was another significant victory for Liverpool on a day that will see a title rival, or possibly both of them, dropping points.

The games are ticking down (with just nine more to come for them) and Liverpool have reclaimed an advantage after seeing off a Brighton side who will host Arsenal and City in April.

Klopp’s side are back to being the team to catch after this important return to winning ways.

What did Klopp say?

We will bring you this after he has spoken at the post-match press conference.

What next for Liverpool?

Thursday, April 4: Sheffield United (H), Premier League, 7.30pm BST, 2.30pm ET
