Brighton counterattacks Liverpool, Salah is in a downturn, and he may lose in the final round of the league

In the 37th round of the Premier League, Brighton defeated Liverpool, which had already won the championship ahead of schedule. The game was exciting, with goals scored continuously and full of viewing. After the game, Liverpool suffered three-round defeats in the league, and there was some difficulty in getting away with it. Brighton currently ranks eighth in the league and it is difficult to qualify for the European competition next season. The three-pointer in this round is another confirmation of the dark horse's true nature.

The ups and downs of goal battles are also because the forward players have better grasping skills, and the other two teams have problems with their defenses. Just 9 minutes into the game, Liverpool took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the court. Bradley showed excellent personal abilities on the right side. First, a beautiful man scored the ball, then rushed to the bottom line through a wonderful rhythm change, and then accurately passed the ball in the inverted triangle to the front of the goal. Elliott scored easily in time, and Liverpool led 1-0. This goal demonstrates the efficiency and smoothness of Liverpool's offense.

In the 32nd minute, Brighton also made a wonderful team cooperation. Velbeck made the ball cleverly at the center position, Gruda kept volleying directly at the end of the air, Ayari quickly inserted into the penalty area, calmly pushed the ball into the lower left corner and scored, Brighton equalized the score 1-1.

half-time stoppage time, Liverpool got a set piece opportunity from the right in the frontcourt. Sobosloy seemed to have a bad chance position on the right side of the penalty area, but his right foot hit a sharp fallen leaf ball like a flowing cloud. The ball flew straight to the back corner of the goal, and Liverpool led 2-1 again. Sobosloy's wonderful goal was world-class, adding a strong mark to the first half. In the second half, the suspense of the game continued. In the 69th minute, Sanzao-kun, who had just made a substitute for only 4 minutes, scored a difficult volleyball, helping Brighton equalize the score 2-2 again. Sanshajun's goal showed his keen sense of smell in front of the goal and his superb shooting skills. In the 85th minute, Sanshajun passed the ball to O'Reilly on the left, who swept the ball in front of the goal, and Sinchelwood scored with the first touch of the ball. The lineman initially signaled an offside, but the referee changed the goal after listening to VAR and Brighton took the lead 3-2 and kept that advantage until the end.

For Liverpool, there are highlights and many things to reflect on in this game. Sobosloy's fallen leaf ball is undoubtedly a highlight of the whole game, which not only reflects his outstanding technical ability, but also shows that Liverpool has finally made new changes in set pieces tactics. But from the overall game, Liverpool's problems are also obvious.

Open offense exposed Liverpool's lack of defensive capabilities on both sides. Even if Van Dijk is in the back, it is difficult to completely plug the loophole. In Brighton's multiple attacks, his players were able to easily break through crosses on the wing, posing a huge threat to Liverpool's defense. In addition, Salah's performance in the game was disappointing. When the team led 2-1, he missed two golden opportunities, which became the turning point of the game. As the team's offensive core, Salah failed to seize the opportunity at a critical moment, which affected the team's trend. At the same time, although Elliot played the whole game and scored goals, he contributed too little to the team without the ball; Nunez also seemed absent-minded after he came on the bench.

Brighton showed strong strength in this game. They maintained their unbeaten record at home against the traditional six giants this season, and achieved a record of 5 wins and 1 draw. And for the first time in the top league, three players scored 10+ goals. The team cooperated tacitly on the offensive end and implemented tactical execution. Whether it was the exciting goals of Velbeck, Ayari and others in the first half, or the outstanding performance of Misatsu after appearing as a substitute in the second half, it proved Brighton's strong offensive firepower.

On the defensive end, they have also successfully limited Liverpool's multiple offenses, causing a lot of trouble for their opponents' offensive players. Especially after the score was reversed, Brighton's defense became more determined and successfully defended the victory. After this game, Liverpool will play against FA Cup champion Crystal Palace at home in the last round of the league this Sunday, and the team must not be so relaxed.
