A rotated Liverpool side failed to win for the third consecutive time since winning the Premier League as they lost 3-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium.

The visitors, encouraged by a joyous traveling Kop, took the lead inside 10 minutes when Mohamed Salah's flick played in Conor Bradley, who beat his marker before finding Harvey Elliott inside the box.

Bradley should have put the Reds two goals ahead later on in the first half after he was found by Federico Chiesa, but it looked as though he was caught in two minds about whether to cross or shoot with a clipped effort that sailed past the far post.

The Seagulls were rewarded for their encouraging forward play when Yasin Ayari finished accurately past Alisson after being picked out by Brajan Gruda, but Dominik Szoboszlai restored Liverpool's lead before the break when his intended cross ended up in the back of the net.

Salah had the first big chance to score after the restart but somehow missed with the goal wide open from Cody Gakpo's cutback.

Slot allowed his two advanced midfielders -- Elliott and Szoboszlai -- to rotate when pressing and that looked to work well as a potential system that could be deployed next season.

Player ratings

GK Alisson, 7 -- Unlucky with the first goal he conceded with an effort that was scuffed into the corner, but he got a strong hand to Welbeck's free kick in the second half.

Nothing in the challenge from him that saw the home fans claim for a penalty.

DF Jarell Quansah, 5 -- Assured in his work and composed when playing out from the back, and stopped a developing Brighton counterattack in the second half before Salah's big chance, but allowed Hinshelwood to find space to score for Brighton's third.

DF Ibrahima Konaté, 5 -- Didn't make any notable defensive errors but could have commanded the line better for the first goal, with Liverpool set too high after the second ball.

Somehow didn't leave the pitch with an assist after he cut back to Salah in the second half before being replaced.

FW Federico Chiesa, 7 -- A positive performance in his first Premier League start for Liverpool saw the 27-year-old unlucky not to get an assist after finding Bradley in space during the first half.

Played a part in Liverpool's first goal with a well-picked-out pass to Bradley.

Luis Díaz (Gakpo 63'), 5 -- Positive on the ball against his marker when looking to work angles on his right foot but overall ineffective.

Darwin Núñez (Chiesa 63'), 6 -- Almost got an assist shortly after coming on when cutting the ball back to Bradley.

Counter-pressed quickly to win back possession after his team lost the ball.

Wataru Endo (Bradley 77'), N/R -- Introduced for Bradley in the second half, which saw him mark his Japan international compatriot in Mitoma.
