Danny Welbeck scored his 11th and 12th Premier League goals as Brighton & Hove Albion beat Liverpool, giving Brighton four wins in five games and moving them up to eighth. Despite being England’s top-scoring player, Welbeck was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
Liverpool suffered their 10th league loss of the season—their worst since 2015–16. The match at Amex Stadium saw early injuries, mistakes, and a fast-paced first half. Brighton scored first through Welbeck, Liverpool equalized via Milos Kerkez, but Welbeck scored again in the second half to seal the win.
Brighton could have scored more, while Liverpool had chances from Curtis Jones, Alexis Mac Allister, and Cody Gakpo, but couldn’t level. Even after beating Galatasaray in the Champions League, Liverpool have only one point from their last three league games.
