The champions' post-title tour continued on Monday night as Liverpool slipped to a second defeat in three, this time losing 3-2 at Brighton & Hove Albion.

After Harvey Elliott had given the visitors the lead, Dominik Szoboszlai made it 2-1 on the cusp of half time after Yasin Ayari had levelled for the Seagulls.

After the break, Kaoru Mtioma made it 2-2 before Jack Hinshelwood grabbed a late winner.

That wasn't enough to halt the party in the away end, though, as the travelling Kop celebrated long into the night at the Amex Stadium, clearly keen to soak up every minute as champions of England.

Konate offers his apologies

But as the home players waited for their visitors to conclude their exercises, the fans grew impatient and were eventually made to boo the Reds in a message that told them to hurry it up.

Unrepentant, the Liverpool team continued with their routines before Ibrahima Konate was forced to offer a belated and somewhat theatrical apology to the Brighton fans who just wanted to get the second half underway.

Out earlier next time, lads?

Friends reunited

It was something of a Liverpool reunion in the Brighton tunnel after the game as James Milner was on hand to embrace a number of his former colleagues including a handful of staff members of the media department and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Reds' vice captain was not involved on the night but he could be seen catching up with the man who held that title at Anfield before him in Milner, as they chatted away in front of reporters.

A beaming Alexander-Arnold was clearly delighted to see his old colleague as they perhaps spent a minute or two reminiscing on past glories under Jurgen Klopp.

It was unclear what the gist of the conversation was but it was clear how much regard Milner remains held in by people at Liverpool as they lined up to say hello to the man who won it all at Anfield following his move from Manchester City 10 years ago.
