Liverpool Halt Slide with Win Over Brighton

Liverpool ended a run of disappointing results with a 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch. The win lifted the Reds back into the top four of the Premier League, providing a much-needed boost after a recent dip in form.

The match started with Brighton showing intent, but Liverpool gradually took control. Salah opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with a clinical finish after a well-worked team move. The Egyptian’s goal was his 10th of the season, underlining his importance to the side.

Brighton responded with determination and equalized just before halftime through a well-placed strike from Kaoru Mitoma. The Japanese winger capitalized on a defensive lapse, sending the game into the break level.

The second half saw Liverpool regain their composure. Gravenberch, who has been growing in confidence since joining from Bayern Munich, scored the winner in the 67th minute. The Dutch midfielder found space at the edge of the box and unleashed a powerful shot that nestled into the bottom corner.

Liverpool’s defense held firm in the closing stages, with Alisson Becker making a crucial save late on to preserve the lead. The victory was a testament to the team’s resilience and ability to bounce back after a series of inconsistent performances.

Manager Jürgen Klopp praised his side’s character and highlighted the importance of Salah and Gravenberch’s contributions. “We needed this win,” Klopp said. “The boys showed great spirit and quality when it mattered most.”

The result keeps Liverpool in the hunt for a Champions League spot, while Brighton remain mid-table, still searching for consistency in their campaign. With Salah and Gravenberch leading the charge, Liverpool will look to build on this momentum in the coming fixtures.
