The perfect day looked far beyond Liverpool when they trudged off at half-time battered and bruised by an upwardly mobile Brighton. But a perfect day it proved for Arne Slot’s side, who climbed back to the top of the Premier League courtesy of a second-half transformation and another stupendous goal from the Mohamed Salah collection.
Salah curled a trademark winner into the top corner of Bart Verbruggen’s net, two minutes after Cody Gakpo had cancelled out Ferdi Kadioglu’s first half opener, to move ahead of Robbie Fowler as the eighth leading goalscorer in the Premier League era. More importantly, with Manchester City and Arsenal both losing, it moved Liverpool two points clear of the champions at the summit and seven above Mikel Arteta’s struggling side.
