Lewis Dunk's second-half goal stopped Liverpool from going second in the table as they drew 2-2 at Brighton & Hove Albion.
Mohamed Salah scored twice to turn the match around after Simon Adingra's wonderful Brighton opener, but Dunk's goal from Solly March's free-kick ensured a share of the points.
Brighton went ahead after 20 minutes, when one of their former players, Alexis Mac Allister, was caught on his heels, allowing Adingra to intercept a Virgil van Dijk pass before catching out an out-of-position Alisson with a finish from long range.
But Liverpool turned it around with two goals in quick succession just before half-time.
First, Mac Allister recovered a loose pass by Dunk to start a quick team move involving five players that ended with Darwin Nunez squaring for Salah to score. Harvey Elliott had no direct involvement but showed great awareness to dummy Nunez's pass and allow a better-placed Salah to take the chance.
Liverpool's second goal was a penalty in first-half stoppage time scored by Salah after Pascal Gross lost possession inside his own box before fouling Dominik Szoboszlai.
It took Salah to 144 Premier League goals, level with Robin van Persie in 13th place on the highest all-time scorers' list, and means he has been directly involved in 14 goals in 13 Premier League appearances against Brighton, only having a better record against Manchester United.
Early in the second half, Alisson made a big save to deny Adingra a second goal before Ryan Gravenberch, a half-time Liverpool substitute, hit the crossbar from close range after a cross by Szoboszlai.
That miss proved costly as Brighton made it 2-2 in the 78th minute, March's free-kick turned in by Dunk, and the Seagulls could and possibly should have won it.
Adingra got in down the right and crossed for Joao Pedro, who could not keep his close-range effort down.
Liverpool, who lost their 17-match unbeaten Premier League run last weekend, miss out on the chance to go a point behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur. They are third, with 17 points, three behind Spurs.
Brighton's first draw of the season means they are sixth, with 16 points.
