Alzate earns memorable Anfield win for Brighton

Steven Alzate's second-half goal secured a first league win for Brighton & Hove Albion at Anfield since 1982 that dealt a blow to Liverpool's title defence.

Mohamed Salah struck a shot over early on after a superb through-ball by Jordan Henderson.

But the champions were largely subdued while Brighton impressed, with Neal Maupay and Dan Burn both going close.

On 56 minutes, Alzate gave Brighton a deserved lead. Burn headed back across goal and Alzate combined with Leandro Trossard to steer the ball into the net.

A confident Brighton threatened to double their lead through chances for Trossard, Burn and Maupay.

Roberto Firmino's shot high and wide summed up the night for Liverpool, who suffered a second successive home defeat.

They are fourth on 40 points, seven behind leaders Manchester City, having played a match more.

Brighton are 15th with 24 points.
