Mo Salah, the Egyptian striker, got the winner, making this Klopp’s 300th win for Liverpool.

In his post-match interview, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: “From my point of view this was our best performance against Roberto’s Brighton. We had more possession, better possession. I liked our reaction but we were rushed in our finishing. We scored a wonderful first goal and a wonderful second goal.
