Liverpool v Brighton

Liverpool hold on to secure an impressive 2-0 win over Brighton at Anfield. The victory is Andoni Iraola's first at Anfield in the Premier League and ends a five game winless run for the Reds on their own patch. A Gross own goal got the hosts going on 17 minutes when Wirtz's effort inside the box ricocheted off the German before flying in beyond Verbruggen in the Brighton goal. Barcola then teed up Isak for Liverpool's second just four minutes later to stun the Seagulls. Brighton could easily have taken the lead in the 14th minute when Ayari skied from close range, and the Swedish attacker then struck the post later in the half from the edge of the Liverpool box. Brighton continued to ask questions of Liverpool in the second half, but couldn't turn their possession into chances, and their eight-match unbeaten run comes to an end on Merseyside. Liverpool recorded 0.87 xG to Brighton's 1.35, and the hosts now look to a home meeting with Chelsea in the EFL Cup on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Brighton look to a trip to Manchester City in that competition on the same night. That's all for this one, thanks for joining us!

FULL-TIME: LIVERPOOL 2-0 BRIGHTON

Araujo delights the Liverpool fans with two more heavy challenges in his own half. The home crowd have really enjoyed his performance today.

There will be FOUR minutes of stoppage time. Still some time to go until Liverpool have the points in the bag...

Neither side has recorded a single shot on target in the second half.

Yalcouye has been a persistent thorn in Liverpool's side since coming on and asks more questions of the hosts' defence from the left. Araujo is there again to make a crucial block, though, and the chance goes begging.
