Joe Gomez N/A
(Alexander-Arnold 80’) Should be pleased he only had to face Mitoma for 10 minutes, because the Japanese winger quickly had his number. PA
Bart Verbruggen 5/10
BRIGHTON PLAYER RATINGS: Didn’t have many big saves to make and could do little about either Liverpool finishes, although it was the goalkeeper’s slack pass that led to the penalty. Getty
Joel Veltman 7/10
Had his hands full up against the energetic Diaz but managed to restrict the Colombian to a few darting runs. AFP
Lewis Dunk 7/10
Poor pass into midfield led to Liverpool’s first goal but made amends with a composed finish to score Brighton’s equalising second from Solly March’s wide free-kick. Reuters
Igor Julio 6/10
Alongside Dunk did well to limit the threat of Liverpool’s forwards. Taken off for the final 27 minutes. AP
Solly March 7/10
Sublime cross from the free-kick to set up Dunk’s goal, and stuck well to his defensive duties up against Salah. AP
Carlos Baleba 8/10
Brighton’s next Yves Bissouma or Moises Caicedo? The 19-year-old Cameroonian produced an all-action display and ran himself into the ground. Reminiscent of his defensive midfield predecessors. AP
Pascal Gross 6/10
Conceded the penalty when he dragged down Szoboszlai. Might’ve counted himself lucky not to see a red card. Had a tough afternoon up against Liverpool’s midfield. Reuters
Simon Adingra 7/10
Showed great hustle to pinch the ball from Mac Allister and applied a fine finish for Brighton’s first goal. Could have scored a second but was denied by a fine Alisson block. Reuters
Joao Pedro 7/10
Missed a sitter from yards out that could have won the game for Brighton. Despite that miss, Pedro was lively, particularly in the second half, and looked Brighton’s most dangerous attacking player. Show more
Kaoru Mitoma 6/10
Subdued for most of the match but started to cause problems in the final 15 minutes and was having plenty of joy against substitute Gomez. Not his usual impact, though. PA
Evan Ferguson 5/10
A major talent but minimal threat on the day. Replaced by Welbeck for the final half hour. AFP
Danny Welbeck 6/10
SUBS: (Ferguson 60’) Offered more movement in and around the box than Ferguson but didn’t threaten the Liverpool goal. AFP
Jan Paul van Hecke 6/10
(Julio 63’) Slotted well into the Brighton defence for the final half hour or so. Reuters
Ansu Fati N/A
(Pedro 88’) Only a few minutes for the on-loan Barcelona player. EPA
Alisson 6/10
LIVERPOOL PLAYER RATINGS: Should have done better for Brighton’s opening goal but produced two excellent saves later in the game. Not much he could do with Dunk’s strike from close range. Reuters
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7/10
Admirable job to keep the usually tricky Mitoma quiet, including a wonderful, outstretched interception. Offensively, it wasn’t his most influential game. AP
Joel Matip 7/10
Had a comfortable outing against a Brighton side generally below their swashbuckling best. Solid to help dim the threat of Ferguson until he was subbed off for the last 17 minutes. AP
Virgil van Dijk 6/10
Defended well for most of the match to keep Brighton’s dangermen quiet but was partly at fault for Brighton’s first goal with a poor pass to Mac Allister. PA
Andrew Robertson 6/10
A solid overall performance from the Scottish left-back but lost Dunk at the set-piece which led to the Brighton defender’s equalising goal. AP
Dominik Szoboszlai 7/10
Great pressing to force the foul from Gross and win Liverpool a penalty. Played his part in an intriguing midfield battle. AP
Alexis Mac Allister 6/10
Had his pocket picked by Adingra for Brighton’s opening goal, but soon eased into the match and was assured in central midfield against his old side. AFP
Harvey Elliott 6/10
Lovely dummy to let the ball run for Salah’s equaliser. Beyond that was largely ineffective and was replaced at half time. AP
Mohamed Salah 8/10
Finished off a fine move to equalise for Liverpool, then scored his second from the penalty spot. Yet another key contribution from the Egyptian forward. Reuters
Luis Diaz 6/10
Buzzed about and tried to make things happen but lacked the final pass or piece of quality to create goalscoring chances. Reuters
Darwin Nunez 6/10
Provided the assist for Salah’s first goal and tried to make himself a nuisance to the Brighton defence but posed little in the way of goal threat. AP
Ryan Gravenberch 7/10
SUBS: (Elliott 45’) Missed a golden chance to score his first Liverpool goal but saw his close-range strike cannon off the post. Still, the Netherlands international made his presence felt in midfieldShow more
