The game – Liverpool were scared in the beginning with some dangerous plays from their opponent, but they did not stop pressing and resulted in a goal in the 18th minute of the first half.
Luis Díaz received a great shot from Matip in the area and headed it into the back of the net. After scoring the goal, he ended up being hit and needed care.
The bid was even reviewed by VAR in a possible red card for Sánchez, but the referee saw no need for sending off and continued the match.
After the score was opened, the duel was lukewarm. Both clubs were still looking for play creations, but until the descent into the dressing rooms the chances cooled.

In the first minute of the second half, Van Dijk tried to ward off the danger, but ended up just slipping on the ball, which was left for Brighton.
Maupay dominated with his hand, but the referee let it go and the player got rid of the marking to pass to Trossard. The attacker, free, kicked the first time and isolated.
After the surprise, Liverpool returned to action and Salah had a great opportunity. The Egyptian tried twice. In the second, the ball deflected in defense, almost covered the goalkeeper and hit the post.
In the sequence, Luis Díaz made a good move and it was left for Mané to dominate and kick. The ball ended up hitting Bissouma’s arm and a penalty was awarded.
Salah went for the ball and sent a bomb in the middle of the goal to increase the advantage and mark his 20th goal in this Premier League.
