    Brighton sub: Zeqiri on for Trossard.
  • 87'
    Just seen it again and it's Trossard's goal. The ball strikes Trossard's left knee then Alzate's foot and then Trossard's right knee and that takes it into the goal. Crazy.

    Salah's ball in is booted away by the Seagulls.

    Liverpool sub: Jones for Firmino.
  • 78'
    Firmino!!!! The Brazilian shoots wide of the goal now! Klopp's men don't deserve to be losing this.
  • 77'
    Liverpool siege here and Salah smashes the ball at the top of Bissouma's arm, but it's in a green zone and by his side. Referee Friend rightly turns down the penalty appeal.
  • 76'
    Burn now!!!! The ball is passed to Dunk who gives to Burn and he forces a save out of Kelleher, but the flag is up.
  • 75'
    Madness here as a long ball forward is booted by GK Sanchez against a Liverpool player and Brighton have to clear!
  • 74'
    Double chance for Brighton!! Gross shoots and Kelleher makes a fine save and then Liverpool concede the corner!
  • 73'
    Brighton get a corner here!
  • 73'
    Seeing the replay of the goal again, Phillips' clearance seems to hit Alsate's foot then Trossard's leg and then Alsate's boot again! It's a really odd goal.
  • 72'
    Webster again!!! He makes a vital challenge to deny Salah and then the Ox hits over the crossbar!!
  • 70'
    Salah!!! The ball is played to TAA on this near side, he cuts back for Salah in the middle and he fails to hit the target! Can't be missing those.
  • 68'
    What a chance for Firmino as he is denied by Sanchez from close range! It wasn't off and that would have counted had it not gone in!

    Brilliant play by Webster!! Thiago scoops the free-kick straight to Firmino and the Brighton man gets there to boot away as Firmino was about to control. Straight off the training ground that move.
  • 62'
    Free-kick for the Reds just outside the area.

  • 56'

  • 56'
    Brighton score through Alzate!!! Can you believe it!!! Burn is picked up at the far post, he heads back into the area, Phillips clears, the ball strikes Trossard on the leg and then Alzate's boot and goes in!!! Fluky, but Brighton won't care.
  • 53'
    Firmino!!! Liverpool win the ball back, Thiago passes to Shaqiri and he feeds the Brazilian whose shot is deflected wide for a corner.
  • 52'
    TAA picks out Salah in the box, but the Egyptian is crowded out.

  • 47'

  • 46'
    Back underway here!!
  • 45'
    HT: Liverpool 0-0 Brighton!! Half-time at Anfield and 0-0 is a very fair score. The hosts have had much more of the ball and territory, but Brighton have defended with ease. Salah's early opportunity was the closest they came. Brighton have attacked little, but looked more dangerous. Burn and Maupay have come the closest for the Seagulls. We still haven't seen a shot on target yet though. Back for more shortly!
  • 45'
    45+1: Maupay!!! The free-kick is taken short and Gross' ball in is headed over by the Frenchman!
  • 45'
    One extra minute.
