UPDATE: In a thrilling encounter at Enfield, Liverpool FC clinched a decisive 2-0 victory over Brighton today. The match showcased a standout performance from Mohamed Salah, who not only received a rousing ovation but also assisted in the second goal scored by Ugo Ekitike.
The action kicked off just 46 seconds into the game when Ekitike capitalized on a defensive blunder from Brighton, putting Liverpool ahead early. Salah, who came on to replace the injured Joe Gomez, made his impactful entrance 25 minutes later, marking his presence on the pitch with a corner kick assist in the 60th minute. This set up Ekitike’s second goal, further exploiting Brighton’s defensive vulnerabilities.
This victory not only marks Liverpool’s first win in the Premier League after two draws but also comes on the heels of a successful 1-0 win against Inter Milan earlier this week.
