Liverpool came close to extending their lead, with Diaz’s effort ruled out for offside and Salah denied by Verbruggen on a counter-attack. However, Brighton posed a late threat, with Caoimhin Kelleher making a crucial save to deny Lewis Dunk’s powerful header.
Despite a nervy moment when Adam Lallana’s shot narrowly missed the target, Liverpool held on for the victory, securing three valuable points in front of a record league attendance of 60,061.
The win reaffirmed Liverpool’s determination in the title race, as they continue to pursue leaders Real Madrid with nine games remaining in the season.
